[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Then tell the dad mom went on another bender, got busted,and he may need to ask the court for custody of the child since your sister sounds unfit.

Or, do you intend to cover for her even if that endangers the child?[/quote]

I'm 18:32.  I agree with this PP.  You continue to justify enabling your mother.  You think not bailing her out of jail is 'teaching her a lesson'?  It's not. You can't teach your mother a fucking thing.  But, you can stop enabling it.  You're also being overly dramatic by suggesting she would die without her anxiety meds.  Hardly.  She's far more likely to die from drunk driving - or killing your sibling or someone else.  How do you plan on living with that kind of guilt?  You need to discuss your 'rescuer' role with your therapist.  You're not thinking clearly or logically.  What you're doing isn't helping anyone.

[quote]She has an 11 year old child, I did not want something preventable happening to her in jail if she could not safely come off those meds in a tapering fashion. You think I'm enabling her to hurt others- do you think I could live with myself if my 11 year old sibling lost his mother because she didn't have access to medication she needed because I was "teaching her a lesson"?[/quote][/quote]
