[quote=Anonymous]My half-sister and I were raised in the same home. She is my step-dad's biological child. She was pretty much given anything she wanted from birth. My parents fall under the category of " permissive" parents. All throughout childhood she was never punished or disciplined. This has led to her being spoiled, selfish, disrespectful, and a high sense of entitlement. Now she has a slew of issues.

- She drinks and does various drugs daily. She hooks up with both men and women all the time, she seeks drugs and even does it out of my parents home, she is beyond disrespectful. She is incredibly clingy and can never be alone. She doesn't work, has dropped out of school, and hanging around a bad crowd. When my parents or anyone tries to call her on her behavior, end a relationship... She throws a fit, screams, cries, and threatens suicide.

- She starts fights for any reason she doesn't get her way. She is out all hours of the night drinking and partying. I went over there this weekend and my sister was stumbling up the stairs drunk - it was only 1:00PM. She has three occasions where she fell and busted her face or ended up with a broken bone.

She is out of control and I fear for her life. She needs rehab but continues to say there is no problem. My parents went from saying it was a problem to them now blaming each other. Her dad is blaming her friends for her behavior. He refuses to think she does anything wrong. My mom goes from being in denial to blaming my step-dad for her acting like this. I think both of them have contributed to her behavior and total disregard for anything other than partying. I know she needs help and fear she may end up dead. I'm at a loss of what to do. I bring it up to my mom and she starts fights about how I need to mind my own business. My step-dad is worse given he refuses to acknowledge she is in the wrong. What, if anything, can I do?[/quote]
