    How do you deal with a family member who can't support herself, lives with my other sister and parents. Comes home drunk once a month and yells at them.

    • Make them pay rent or leave. I've seen the same thing.monospaced
    • Film them coming home drunk and yelling. Show it to them the next day.
      Post to Youtube.
      Profit.
      Use profits to buy her help.

    • I don't know how to deal with family either... :/ that's why i moved away. otherwise i'll be the one coming home drunk and yelling at people.pango
    • she made bad choices when she was younger (dropped out of h.s., got into fights, arrested, drugs). she might have worked 3 total years in her life.pinkfloyd
    • she's very toxic, but then she's also family. my other sis is getting fed up again, it's a continuous cyclepinkfloyd
    • not much you can do. sickness is a nightmare.since1979
    • it keeps affecting me indirectly since I stay in touch with the rest of my familypinkfloyd
    • Seriously let her go. She can always come back if she fails, but she has to try.monospaced
    • I know you're trying to be nice mono, but can you please responding to my posts. I find your behaviour unpredictable. One second your nice, and next you're allpinkfloyd
    • bipolar pissy. It makes me really uncomfortable.pinkfloyd
    • It's never easy dealing with family but everyone has to stop enabling her. Help her by making her pay rent or give her an ultimatum.sea_sea
    • thank you sea_seapinkfloyd
    • My biological father is a scientologist and I haven't spoken to him in a decade. Sometimes you have to cut people off &move on, leave space for them to shape upshellie
    • and come back around in a capacity in which you are comfortable. Perhaps it's time to get the rest of the fam on the same page.shellie

    • wait til they are dead? bullocks. you will never forgive yourselfsince1979
    • and if u cut em off and then they recover they will never forgive usince1979
    • just do what you can casually and dont get too involved me thinkssince1979
    • ask ponyboyimbecile
    • All I'm saying is she needs to learn to appreciate you guys. Right now she's just acting like a rotten person. Not fair to any of you.sea_sea
    • Life is rough, unless you plan on doing this forever then you have to let her hit rock bottom at some point. Doesn't mean you have to abandon her but..sea_sea
    • Unfortunately she needs to recognize she needs help. And that's a hard process. So difficult for everyone involved, sorry. And yes, ask ponyboy.sea_sea
    • I don't know how this could make you uncomfortable. You asked for advice and I've been through something very similar. Jeez.monospaced
    • I'm not bipolar either. That is really fucked up of you to say when I'm only giving real advice based on experience.monospaced
    • fine, can you stop responding to my posts now?pinkfloyd
    • this is a public forum and I have no intention of being a dick to you, sincerelymonospaced
    • you posted a very personal issue and invited all input... and I've been a part of this community for a decade so I don't think my comments are out of linemonospaced
