to tell or not to tell


Question Posted Tuesday September 21 2004, 8:26 pm

im 13/f and my sister whose 19 moved out about 1 1/2 yrs ago nd recently moved back in. She had a really controlling boyfriend and they were hooked on heroine. My mom had agreed to let her move back in if she stopped doin in. She moved back in about 2mnths ago and got rid of the old boyfriend. She got a new boyfriend but she's still using drugs. it's not just a once in a while thing either, its everyday, and as i said, my mom doesnt know and shes always saying how proud she is that my sister stopped doing drugs. I don't want to wreck me nd my sistersn relationship, but i think my mom needs to know because im afraid my sister will hurt herself.

-confused

You should tell your mom about your sister. Drugs is serious and if something were to happen to your sister then you would feel guilty for not trying to prevent it. Your mom deserves to know about your siter and what she is doing. So tell her NOW!

Yeah you should tell. Or even tell your sister that you know and not tell your mom, tell your sister that if she doesnt get some help herself your going to tell your mom because your worried about her. Do it asap because heroine is a pretty hardcore drug.

I know that it would probable break trust with your sister but thats a very serious thing, i think you should go an tell your mom. you love your sister im sure and dont want anything to happen to her so i would tell your mom to be on the safe side.

You're right, you do need to tell your mom. And you need to telll her ASAP. Heroin is like one of teh worst drugs to be on, it is so addictive, so i can believe that she hasn't stopped, because it is very hard to stop. You need to tell you mom becasue she needs help.

Your sister has a problem, and it's just not going to go away. Talk to your mother and tell her what you know. Your sister needs to be in rehab where she will be in a controlled enviroment. She is not going to be able to kick her drug habbit by herself. She needs you, and your families love and support. Support her by no longer hidding her secret.

Ok for starters:

DONOT! talk to her after she has just shot it up...make sure you wait until later that day...then tell her about how your worried and you love her...tell her STRAIGHT UP if she doesnt stop...you will tell your mother...

if she doesnt stop...TELL YOUR MOM!

if you want to have a sister *alive*
tell your mother!

if she still doesnt stop she needs outside help!

God be with you

judith (the lil' helper) you'll be in my prayers!

Talk to ur sister. Tell her how much its hurting you. My sister used to be gothic. I talked to her and she stopped. Shes her regular old self again.
Just talk to her and say things that you mean and not what she wants to hear from you.

Mercy_x_Me answered Wednesday September 22 2004, 11:19 am:
beg your sister to REALLY stop. Talk to your sister about it, and explain exactly how you feel and how you wont tell your mom b/c you dont want them having a bad relationship. But honestly, you have a choice. Would you rather see your mom and sister having a bad relationship, or would you rather see your sister in a coffin :-

You have to tell someone. I know of a girl who took a ton of drugs. In the end, she ended up dying from an overdose. Everyone thought she quit, but some people did know differenlty. Don't let this happen to your sister. It won't ruin your relationship with her. It may cause problems temporarily, but in the end she'll be glad.

You should tell your parents... in the long run, it will help your sister out, even if she doesn't realize it now

Oh, I know exactly where you're coming from. I was goin though the same thing a while back, except I was the one doing, and my sister is the one who helped me. You probably shouldnt tell your mom just yet. Talk to your sister first and see how that goes then if it doesnt work and your still concerned tell your mom.

Laura answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 8:48 pm:
I wouldn't tell your mom. But tell your sister that you know she's still doing it, and if she doesn't stop soon you're going to tell. If she makes you promise not to tell, just say "I can't garuntee, because I love you and you're hurting yourself." or something like that, but just make sure she knows that you know about it. Sorry, and good luck.

hEY! i understand how u dont want mom to kno and then want ur to kno for the best cuz of lossing trust and everything but before u go tell ur mom try talkin with ur sister first and tell her how prond mom thinks she is that she stopped doing drugs...let her kno that she's lucky to be able to move back in the house and have a new bf to be with and everything. does her bf do drugs? and is he doesnt then let her kno how would he feel if he found out and just have that talk with ur sister. and let her kno how YOU FEEL. if u look up to her tell her that you dont like her doing drugs and that u are kinda of mad that she did cuz of how smart and pretty and nice she is that she doesnt need drugs. see wut she saids...let me kno if u need help. Take Care! Hope i helped! x3 SweetStar.

MFS answered Tuesday September 21 2004, 8:29 pm:
Indeed, your mom needs to know, so that your sister's problem can be made known to her, and so that something can be done. It still amazes me that heroin became so popular again, given its history and the number of people it has killed.
