[quote=Anonymous]This is what I would do: I would just lay it on the table with sis. Say everything you said here. Express your primary concern for the kids, especially the 6 year old (who is hearing that language somewhere) and advise her that this will be the last time you discuss it unless she actually asks for help and follows through. Advise that you will no longer spend time with her.

I'd tell the parents that I've had this conversation and again advise that you don't want to be at any events when she will be attending.

Out of sight, out of mind works for me. If it works for you and your parents, you can all do the same. Your parents have not put up boundaries and you cannot do this for them. Expect it to get worse before it gets better.

PS, I do agree that with the way you write about your sister, you have a lot of derision for her and I feel that this has been brewing for a while, since before she was even out of the house. I think your sister feels that she has always been the black sheep and her self and family-destructive behaviours are part of coping with that. But in the same way as you all need to make your boundaries and seek individual help, so does she. You can't make her do this, you can just get good at repeating this a lot to her until she is able to get the help she needs.[/quote]
