[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So your sister is an alcoholic and your take is that  she is  trashy and unpleasant to be around. No wonder she drinks. Way to not be able to assess a situation [/quote]
Oh please, it is not OP’s fault that her sister is an alcoholic. [/quote]
PP has a point.  Of course it’s not OP’s fault that the sister is alcoholic.  But the fact that the family judges the sister rather than recognizing the core of her problem is [b]a symptom of the family’s dysfunction[/b].[/quote]
No. The sister being an alcoholic is THE core of the family’s dysfunction. The sister’s behavior is her responsibility and only her responsibility. And she is the one not only ruining the experiences of others, she’s traumatizing all the children that are witness to her behavior.[/quote]

Alanon for you. Alanon for your parents.  Alateen for your sisters kids age 10 and up. Your parents can drop them off, it is free.

Is your sister driving the children under the influence?  At some point your BIL may end up with primary custody and your sister get visitation due to your sisters alcoholism.
Generally the non alcoholic spouse has a better shot at getting primary custody than the alcoholic and the alcoholic will get 2 days a week or an overnight.[/quote]

Op has stated that her sister takes Uber to go out with her friends, drinks more heavily on vacation but does not drink at work/alcohol is not affecting her job. It doesn't sound as though Op is around her sister much during a regular work/school week.  She's mainly seeing her sister on holidays and vacations where people do tend to stay up later, drink more and otherwise indulge.[/quote]
