One thing that anyone with a sibling like this can do that will really help is to pay their court costs if they are arrested and convicted for something.  People with drug problems and people who are dysfunctional because they are mentally ill or because they have been helicoptered or coddled their whole lives tend to get arrested once their family stops enabling them.  If they are convicted, the court assesses mandatory court costs which cannot be suspended or eliminated.  If they aren't paid within a short period of time, the person's privilege to drive is suspended.  They have to pay a fee at the DMV to reissue their license after they pay their outstanding costs.  If they get caught driving before reinstating their license, they get a driving on suspended charge and that might lead to another conviction and more court costs.  Interest accrues on outstanding costs so if they are left unpaid, the amount increases over time.  So this can be very helpful for family members who are never going to be productive.[/quote]
