[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m stunned people don’t get OP’s anger. Have any of you read the whole thread? I’d be mad as hell dealing with what OP is going through.

Someone stealing, showing up high to family hangouts, mooching off elderly parents? OP is better than me because I would have told DH’s sis off in person.

Being asked to go through this hell for a sibling is NOT the same as for an inlaw you’ve never liked. [/quote]

Also, I don't find OP particularly angry at all.  She's very firm in her stance to not support SIL or the ILs in her addiction and horrible behavior (stealing, lying, and getting other people arrested for her crimes!).

Karma will get all the ignorant PPs who are high and mighty about "supporting" the addict.[/quote]

Addicts have a disease that causes them to do terrible things to themselves and others. Many of us on this thread are capable of hating the disease while still having empathy for those who are suffering, including the parents and the sister as well as OP. Sorry this kind of nuanced thinking escapes you.
[/quote]different poster here.  I agree that OP could benefit by working on her attitude but I don't get the personal attacks coming from some of the posters here.  She's got good reason to be mad.  She's in a difficult situation.  Don't know why people are going after her anger.  Yeah, she should work on it but, seriously? I've been where she is and it's damned hard to deal with.  Give her a break.[/quote]
