Why do we spend so much time arguing over who's right? Why can't we just accept each other's differences? How is either one of us so wrong that we can't resolve it enough to get along? Why did it get so bad that I'll never see you again? Why couldn't we get better? Why can't we still?

Why is there still nothing I can do that'll get you to speak to me? Why?

Some people have an easier time of getting along.
Making others wrong doesn't make me right. I don't argue anymore.
If a person is so bent on winning, I just seem to let it go.
I may sever the friendship if it gets too much.

I've grown to be that way, too. Thing is, this is my sister. My own sister.

After all of the manipulation and the several times she stabbed me in the back, I still love her. I'll always love her. It wasn't always like that, not until the drugs took hold, before that she was the sweetest person I knew, my best friend. She was there for me when no one was and built me up every single time my dad or some kid at school tore me down. She was all I had for a long time. Now I have others, but she's not here. It just breaks my heart.

Maybe if I would've stuck around, maybe if I would've had her back more, she might be clean. Be safe. If I would've stuck around, maybe she'd be my sister again.

So Leigheas, we all have to carry the weight of our own decisions around--don't carry the weight of your sister's too. She made the choice to use. That's her burden to carry.
Easy to say, hard to let go of the guilt we feel, I know. Every day I think if I had been a better mother, more perceptive, more involved, kinder smarter better my daughter would be healthy today. Whipping myself over it doesn't help her, hurts me, sends me into a downward spiral and makes me less able to help her now. Does that resonate at all with you?
I hope you are able to let go of this, even a little.
It's not your fault.

I'm glad you have others to rely on. no matter what happens I want to you to know that it's NOT YOUR FAULT that your sister is having drug abuse problems. She has her own path to follow. Only she can decide to get help.
