My older sister & I haven't had the best relationship over the years, but the last 2 years have been very tough on me.
2 years ago we discovered my sister was abusing prescription pills & alcohol. We got her into a treatment program (her own wishes at the time) & thought she was doing good. She moved in with me & my FI in Aug 2009 & all (edit) broke loose.
She would mope around for days & go on random dates with a new guy every week, but wouldn't find a job & also was drinking & drugging again.
I told her she had to leave b/c I couldn't be apart of her drug/alcohol abuse. She did move out & the met a guy & moved in with him about 2 weeks after knowing him...long sotry short it didn't work out so she went back to my Mom's with her tail between her legs.
We were on speaking terms, but rough ones when I found out she was dating my boss' son, after I asked her to please not pursue that relationship b/c I knew the state she was in...she was NOT healthy.
Another long story short she moved in with him & across the US after 2 weeks & then I find out she married him with in 2 months & now she is claiming he physically & mentally abused her...
I've met him several times & I do think something is fishy with the relationship but don't feel as if she is being truthful b/c she left him went to my mom's & then went back & said everything was a lie & then about 2 weeks later she left him again & said she lied about lying about him NOT abusing her.
At that point I ended our relationship. I felt as if she betrayed me & not only that she has jeopardized my relationship with my boss & my job. My boss' son is looking at 20 years b/c she stated he sexually abused her...but they were married & when I finally asked her about it she said she was so out of it she doesn't know what happened, but yet she says she told the police/military police.
I didn't speak with her for almost a year & she reahed out so I thought ok I'll give a little more so for my families peace of mind. But once I did I realized she hasn't changed a bit. She left her husband of 3 months in May & in July she was talking to another guy (over the internet, he was in Germany) & then left for Germany to spend 3 weeks with him in Nov.
I'm not sure how it all played out b/c when she got back about 3 weeks later she was in a relationship with a guy she briefly met in SC. That didn't last long & she was on to the next guy.
I'm recently engaged & trying to include her, but we are having an engagement party this Sat. & I find out today she is bringing some random guy to this party...I'm so confused, mad, & irritated.
I don't know how to handle her. I know if she wasn't my sister I wouldn't want herin my life, but I have no choice.
I know it's her life & choices, but she brings it into our family & this last year she affected my life...If anyone can give me some encouraging words, advice, help...whatever I'm willing to listen & try to moe past this insanity!

You know blood is thicker than water.
We can't choose our family.
People are they way they are for a reason, what is that reason? Why does your sister feel the need immensely to be loved, yet enters into so many "relationships", and abuses them, through drugs/alcohol, he kicks her out, or she walks. She can't feel... She is needy, maybe even uses them be it for sex, or money or drugs, or attention.
It seems that she just desperately wants to be loved but can't.
She is who she is.. The Random guy so what, but you have to hope she's on her best behaviour which is hard as can you ask a sister to do that? IDK.
I doubt that your boss is immature enough to blame you for what happened with your sister and his son because I can't see anyone taking the abuse seriously, in consideration that there is proof of continued two weeks here and there with other men over and over.. and then drugs... I think his son is pretty safe. and I am sure that he sees you are not the same people.
Have you ever honestly asked your sister why she is in so much pain? Why she is hurting that she can't stop doing the things she does?
You know she may very well be a weak soul. She may have been used left right and centre by boys when she was young to the point it hurt her that she actually despises men. Therefore "uses" these men. Trys to hurt them back.
Have you ever sat her down and said I love you and I know you've been hurt in your past, I remember the little sister when we grew up laughing with me.. What happened all those years ago, do you hate men, talk to me....
It's one thing to go to rehap, or to get help, it's another thing if she has bottled things inside and has never had faith in anyone to be able to finally let it all out, in which case, see and in that case, strart to mend, which leads to change.

Do we not realise that in order to find a soul
It doesn't happen over night
if truth were to be told.
Like everything in life that's hard to achieve
you must believe!
