Still lurking around here so I'll add the latest update. My sister's daughter is a lawyer, age 30, probably addicted to cocaine and painkillers, a serial liar, and runs from her school loans, bank overdrafts and unpaid parking tickets. She has just lost her job (again) and been evicted from her apartment (again) with very good excuses about why none of that is her fault, says she is living out of her car and hasn't had a shower in a week. Refuses her mother's suggestions to look for a shelter or soup kitchen. Mom, dad, grandparents, sisters, and friends have all been burned enough times that they will not give her a place to stay or any money. So - my sister left a message asking if this girl could come live with me.
I know the right answer to that. I'm just wondering if anyone knows what resources can help a person like this.
My sister asked me if I would even just call and talk to her, but from what I have heard just about everything out of her mouth is a lie about how this or that is not her fault and so unfair and if she only just could have $100.... I don't even actually want to talk to her.
On my run today my mind drifted around letting her stay here for a couple of weeks (not that she asked me) and if I could just impose conditions like she goes to a treatment program and does volunteer work or something (as if she would be willing to do that), maybe I could be the one to help her. But I did notice SHE is not the one asking me for help. My sister's just trying to fix things for her.
Anyway, I just thought I'd mention that I know I'm NOT superwoman really.
