What confuses me is all her life, our life, our mother used resulting with us having very difficult childhoods and being abandoned. Still my mother struggles with addiction and my sister sees what this has done to her...it destroyed a beautiful young women and damaged her beyond repair..speaking of my mother. My children are enough to keep me on my wits, especially from hard drug use. I do drink more then I should and I do smoke pot occasionally, but never in front of them or around them...they have no idea. The way she cherishes her child I assumed she would never make these sorts of bad decisions. But then again if she's anything like our mother (and she is very much like Mom) then she will selfish. It's exactly what she is being...purely inconsiderate and selfish. I've been beginning to get angry because after she swore up and down to me that she would not use again and that her affair with a man from work was over...I called and she was using with the man she was having an affair with from the past. It probably never stopped and she's probably been using much longer then she claimed. Lies....so typical while in active addiction.

Just hurt and feel betrayed.

My nephew is actually being cared for by my sisters husband so I don't worry for him as much, but he is being sent to Afghanistan, and once he's gone I will get really worried. Hopefully something changes between now and then.
