[quote=Anonymous]I come from a family of 7 kids.  Three of my siblings have problems with alcohol.  I am soooooo tired of it.  I am trying not to be angry at at them but I am so pissed about it.  One is open about it but is a nasty drunk and makes those miserable late night phone calls and whines and rages about the unfairness of life.  The other one would come visit and drink and tell me to my face that she hadn't had anything.  Really, you want me to believe that it is always Listerine?  I eventually sat her down and told her what my boundaries were.  I explained that I loved her, that I loved when she visited, but that I was concerned about her behavior and thought she had a problem.  I also told her that she was free to make her own decisions but that she could not come to my house and drink.  I have children, they love her, as do I, but we cannot have that kind of behavior at our house.  It's been better since I established my boundaries (although she has had more than I would like on occasion when we've gone out to dinner) she hasn't been blottoed in a long time and the drinking has gotten better.  Now, my other sibling who was so critical of me for not yelling at my sister when she drank in her own home, etc. and was always quick to judge the other siblings is abusing alcohol.  To make matters worse, there are kids in the picture.  I would like to go grab the kids while she and her husband work their shit out (marriage is rocky and has been for a while, long before drinking began).  I am just so tired of this shit.  It is exhausting and I am so sick of it.[/quote]
