[quote=Anonymous]Was estranged from my sister for about 7 years.  VERY long story, but she was in and out of rehab for years since she was 16.  A mix of eating disorder rehabs, alcohol, and pot/prescription pain killers.  We remained close throughout this and she seemed to be turning her life around at 21 and enrolled in college, was dating a guy she met in one of her meetings, etc.  Then they broke up and she wound up dating  a guy whose problems became apparent after a year.  He got her involved in dealing and using heroin and oxy and she was put on probation.  Then she broke into our mom's house and stole her jewelry and a few other valuable items.  Mom called the cops and had her arrested (one of the hardest things she's ever had to do).  Sister was arrested and sentenced to jail.  This is when I stopped talking to her as she was completely unapologetic and my mom had said that if she went to rehab, she would drop the charges.  Sister threw a hurl of insults at my mother.

A couple of years later, she was arrested with her boyfriend for being part of a pretty big drug ring in the area.  Because of extenuating circumstances with her boyfriend, he received a slap on the wrist while she was sentenced to a year in prison followed by rehab and sober living.

I started talking to her again when she was in sober living and really seemed to be trying.  She now lives with another family member as she had to be released somewhere safe and our mom didn't trust her yet and our dad travels often for work.  Our relationship is better, as is her relationship with our mom, but it is still improving.  She is back in school, working, and has a great boyfriend.  She is on probation still so that helps keep her in check.

Anyways, sorry this turned out so long.  [/quote]
