My sister just turned 37 years old. She's 17 years older then me and we have always gotten along great. She was the coolest sister EVER. Over the last three years however, things have gotten very, VERY bad. She left her husband and (then two year old) son behind for a loser "love of her life." She was already an alcoholic and had received treatment for that, and lost her GREAT job because of it. She started dating "Tom" and things got awful. She never talked to anyone in the family, she never saw her son, left her husband in an awful financial state, got hooked on hard drugs, got into a lot of trouble, and they stole everything they had. Deodorant, clothes, shoes, purses, you name it they stole it. Neither of them had a job and they both were using drugs and hanging out with awful people. Right around Christmas "Tom" got busted and put into jail, and so did my sister. Since she didn't have any priors, she could get out, on a 5,000 dollar bond, which my grandma used the last of her money on, but "Tom" could not get out. Since she had no where else to go, she came to live with us. She stayed for about a week, before her and my mom were fighting very bad. My sister wasn't looking for a job, wasn't trying to straighten up, and was taking advantage of my moms help. She left for a few days and stayed with some "friends." But soon figured out she couldn't get by with nothing, and came back to our house. Things were a little better this time. She seemed to be trying and getting better and wasn't so selfish. Then the other day, she was out until 6 a.m. with no real excuse for what she was doing, and she blew 100 dollars. Then tonight she left and didn't tell anyone where she was going and when she finally came home, she was very obviously drunk. Which given her age isn't wrong, but, she's in the middle of a divorce not to mention a potential felony, as well as a custody battle and spending more money she didn't have so my mom was mad at her. They fought a little bit, but then my mom just gave up and went to bed. A little later I heard my sister and dad talking, and my sister was bad mouthing my mom VERY bad. Saying she doesn't love her; she's never done anything to help her, and knowing just exactly how much my mom HAS helped (she's paid house payments, electric payments, bought her a car, groceries, taken care of her son, let her live with us, the list is very very very long) I was VERY mad. So I went out there and we got into a HUGE fight. Everyone was screaming at each other for at least an hour, and a LOT of very mean things were said, but nothing untrue was spoken, except on my sisters side, but she always lies. She finally had one of her "friends" come and get her, and now she's texting my mom saying things like "I hope you die" "Dont leave your house" Your a b*tch" "You messed with the wrong person wait till you see what happens" some very scary stuff, and knowing the no good kinds of people she hangs out with, I'm very scared, and don't know what to do. How can you treat family like this?! What needs to happen? How do I deal with this? She's my sister and I love her and I wish nothing bad on her, but we have done all we can. There's nothing left that we can do. What do I do now? Should we take these threats seriously? I'm sorry this is so long, but I really need some help. Things have gotten way out of hand....
