[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OMG. [b] To all those people out there who didn't understand OP's original description of her family, STFU.  Who cares?!! [/b] OP, I understood what you were explaining about your relationship to your half sister.  You guys share a mom and her dad is your step-dad.

Anyway, I'm sorry to hear you're going through this.  It sounds more complicated b/c you mention that your mom has an untreated mental illness.

I have a younger sibling who was spoiled horribly by my late mother, and never held accountable by either parent.  Fast forward almost 40 years and he's pretty much a huge train wreck.  Never held a job very long, couldn't finish a college degree (given at least 3 different chances at 3 different schools over 7 years) and is now pretty much estranged from everyone.

My sympathies.  I don't have any answers for you, other than to say there's very little you can do about an adult relative who is making poor choices.  The thing that sucks even more about this is that it causes lasting damage to the rest of the family.  If my mom hadn't passed away, I'm sure my parents would be fighting about this even now, with my dad trying to blame all of this on my mom.[/quote]
The OP shouldn't have gotten snarky about it.[/quote]
