Diane: What to do with a sister addicted to pain medication leaving out of town?
My one sister just got married and is having her wedding reception down in Ohio and we are up in Michigan. My other sister wants to go and nobody wants to take her due to the fact that she causes drama on road trips and also at family functions on pain medication. This has been ongoing for about 8-10 years and I don’t know if I should check her baggage completely or just leave her here. The drama is already starting. She says that she’s not going to do it, and then she does. What do I do?

it sounds like shes going to do whatever she wants so i dont think you should stress/worry about it cause shes going to do what she wants/wanted to do
Tell her the truth, just like you said it here. Nobody wants to take her because her drugs make her misderable to be around. If she goes, she is likely to ruin your other sister’s reception, and that’s just not fair. Maybe it will help addicted sister to reach her “bottom” if she knows that even her family doesn’t want to be around her in close quarters. If she get to her bottom, she might get help with her addiction. Nobody gets help before they reach their own personal bottom.
I stress, definitely, if the family can prevent her from attending, they should do so. Your newlywed sister will only have one wedding reception. Try not to let it get ruined by addicted sister.
Answer by bugfreeI would tell her the truth. I agree that she needs to know WHY no one wants to be with her.
