found out why my sister threw out her friends that she was letting stay in my niece’s room. they were doing heroin in my niece’s bedroom. when they saw the needles I guess they kicked them out and blocked off the room to clean up. My niece isn't allowed in there until she cleans the room. My sister has tried it all before and I'm sure she's aware her friends do harder drugs than pot. My sister isn't exactly great at her choices of friends. I don't trust 90% of her friends.

my sister is addicted to pain killers. She snorts them and makes questionable choices. It is hard seeing a love one destroys themselves. Crazy thing is.... my dad and stepmom get pain killers and they sale them to her. They complain about it but they still feed into her addiction. If they find out that she has done harder drugs before they threaten to take custody of my niece but I don’t believe them.

I have no means on taking care of a child. I live with my dad and stepmom and I wouldn't trust my dad and stepmom with my children. If need to be I'd take her in a heartbeat. Though, with my schizophrenia I don’t know if I can take care of a child. My niece is 5 but I'm sure she's aware something isn't right... I grew up watching my uncles almost kill themselves with drugs so I can relate to what she's feeling. I'm pretty sure she effected by it with her mommy being high all the time.

I don't think she understands it very much just that her mommy acts differently at times. When her mom was with her dad... her dad used to beat my sister black and blue. She gets nightmares from it. I'm worried about my niece. I hope she knows she can come to me for support. I worry about it with her. especially sexual abuse. I will murder the ****er who tries. Hard part is that I can't control who she hangs around with.

Sadly, child protective services have been called on my sister several times and they've done nothing about it and they can take my niece from my sister to her abusive dad and his family. I'm not sure what to do. I'm not sure at all what to do other than support my niece through this tough ride. I don't trust foster homes, I don't trust her mom, I don't trust her dad, I don't even trust my dad, and stepmom. Best case scenario is that she lives with my stepmom and dad... worse case is she is dumped at her dads.
