[quote=Anonymous]I am the OP of this thread, I paid for my sister's rehab in 2019. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/835686.page

The truth was that the rehab cost $6,500 and not $2,500 back in 2019 but I was too ashamed to even admit that then on DCUM. We paid it because my mother was crying to me nonstop about how she couldn't afford it. My sister's DH was threatening to get custody of the kids if she didn't go. So she did this out patient 30 day program where she went 5 days a week for 8 hours (like it as a job) and she worked on the weekends (she's an RN).

My sister did not take it seriously and was still drinking until about a year ago when being "sober" became trendy and all her friends were doing it. Whatever it takes, don't care. She still drinks now and then, but nothing like before. She still has all the personality quirks and is basically a dry drunk. She FINALLY got a full time job recently, 6 years later from my original thread.

My father died a year after my thread and I definitely think it is from the stress of her behavior. Addicts affect everything and everyone around them. If OP's SIL is not really ready, rehab won't work. I had to grey rock my sister and I would not pay for her rehab today. If OP doesn't want to do it, then she shouldn't have to pay either.[/quote]
