drained, really need advice
so sorry for the long rant, i really need advice. my older sister is diagnosed with bipolar disorder, she also is a drug user. she has manic episodes resulting in either her hurting herself or others (my mum, dad, me, my brother, stepdad). but today she crossed the line.
my sister doesn’t have a consistent housing situation, when she finds one she manages to compromise it, leaving her to sleep in her car, or be out all night doing whatever. she doesn’t stay with us because 1. she becomes aggressive, 2. we have two babies in the house and she often brings her substances and tries to use them around the babies. 3. my mum truly has tried everything when it comes to her.
yesterday my sister was in the hospital again because she had herion in her system, and she also took a lot of valium tablets. for some reason the hospital discharged her later that night and she came to our house to sleep. my mum let her, and she slept on the couch. woke up and was alrwsdy very agitated. my mum wasn’t talking to her in a demeaning or halfway she just asking a few questions of what went on and then my sister immediately got defensive and then started going off at her. She started raising her voice and I quickly took the babies into my room and then things escalated she started hitting my stepdad and bit him and pulling my mum‘s hair when we asked her to leave. We had to call the police and the whole time she was screaming to the top of her lungs. Neighbours got involved. The police have taken her to hospital now she’s hopefully being treated but I just can’t do this any more. I’ve been watching this going for years and there hasn’t been any changes.
Not to mention her and her ex-boyfriend have really really messy relationship and she post a lot of embarrassing things online that my friends and our family have to see. It’s just so embarrassing having your sister act like that and then other people seeing it. I really don’t know what to do. I feel so like helpless and don’t wanna burden my mum with any more of this so I hope you guys could give me some advice on how I can deal with this. Thank you.
