[quote=Anonymous]My best friend is living through a similar situation and has done for years. It's given her a lot of grief and she's had to go into therapy for it. I think you need to carry on as you have until the roommate or your sister can't go on like this, through illness or other event. I know you don't want to hear that, but all the other options may be worse than the one you have right now. My friend is lucky in that her mentally unstable sibling is in a rent-controlled apartment. However, the sibling is so problematic that he always risks getting thrown out, and my friend has to get on the phone with the landlord. My friend pays bills as they come, because any money given to the sibling goes to controlling "friends" who supply him with drugs. My friend has recently distanced herself and only pays the bills. She does not have the bandwidth anymore to have a meaningful relationship with her sibling. Good luck, OP. It's very hard. [/quote]
