US Edition‘Goody-two-shoes’ woman rejected by drug-addicted sister
- The speaker's sister, who has struggled with alcoholism and drug addiction for about 50 years, is currently hospitalized in very bad shape in 2025.
- This long-term difficult dynamic has caused emotional strain and codependency issues, complicating the relationship and communication between them.
- The sister refuses to answer the speaker’s calls or texts but continues to respond to others, while occasional social meetings have become less frequent as the speaker prioritizes family time.
- One brother suggests the speaker should let go, and advice includes that 'You've done more than you can,' with visits to support groups and reading 'The Language of Letting Go' recommended for processing feelings.
- The speaker fears deep regret if the sister passes without reconciliation but acknowledges that distancing themselves may be a wise decision given diverging needs and personalities.
