I am in recovery from addiction to the same things she is doing so I do understand to a point why she is using drugs, but if I had a child I would have never picked them up in the first place because that child would always come first.

I know I should reach out, I really do, but I am scared of the consequences to the rest of my family too.

I haven't tried talking to my sister about how she might lose her daughter, or even her life, if she doesn't stop using but I intend to try and get my point across that way before I go for custody. I know she is going to be very mad at me for bringing it up but it needs done. If she doesn't change after that I plan to go for custody, I just want to try and get through to her first. I have always been more passive aggressive when talking to her about the subject before but I will be direct this time. Maybe it will get through if I do the "tough love" thing since it's usually my last route and she knows that.
