so, it seems that my sister is actually homeless. not quite sure, but her electricity was cut off and she has fallen off the grid. I imagine she and her husband will show up at my mothers looking for a place to stay.

thanks - yeah, I am sort of torn between, "nothing I can do" and "what could I do?". I am sort of waiting for her to hit rock bottom and maybe she'll be willing to work to turn herself around .but very ******* frustrating

Zach - didn't you start a thread like 5 yrs ago asking what you can do with your 45 yr old bum of a sister?

yes, Matt, she's been a bum for a while, and I've been wondering about it for a while. it hasn't gotten any better.


I had to have a little talk with my son today about her, basically explaining why his aunt made some bad choices and was going to be homeless, and why I couldn't help her.

Cripes, that's the worst part of it all :(

Really sorry to hear it.
