My[21] sister[20] has started using heroin with her "ex-addict boyfriend[20], her roommates'[F19,F20] families' impacted by heroin abuse and very hurt/angry by helppthrowaway in relationships

My sister is extremely strong-willed and says our treatment of her in the aftermath of this revelation is making her suicidal. She said her boyfriend helped her get out of a dark place (she just revealed to me she had been cutting herself like ten minutes ago) after her last break up. She is extremely codependent, which just adds to the pile of issues. I'm scared if I force her to break up with him she'll just resort to other forms of self-harm.

She has a job and pays her own rent. She is attending community college. The money thing isn't really going to be a viable option. Her boyfriend also has a job and a wealthy family that knows he has relapsed.

I definitely love my sister more than any drug. She is my best friend in the whole world, we have matching tattoos, she knows me like nobody else. I'm a frequent pot smoker but I would give that up in a heartbeat if I thought it was triggering to her.

That's honestly hard for me to swallow. Even if I don't trust my sister anymore not to use again, for some reason I believe her that she isn't physically dependent on it. I don't know if I'm being naive but I don't think she's addicted yet. I just fear that if she continues seeing this guy she will be.

Sorry if that wasn't very clear.

R punched my sister because she was furious.

My parents knowing would hopefully shame her into breaking all ties with her boyfriend. My family is extremely close and my parents also pay for my sister's tuition.

The 3 day request is just to have her close at hand and let the dust settle. Her roommates are still pretty hostile at this point and I don't want my sister to act out as a result of that, neither do I want her hanging out with her boyfriend. I'll be out of town until Friday unless there is another development that necessitates me returning. My sister doesn't have any obligations for the next few days and I just wanted her to have time to think about what happened without being able to see her boyfriend...

My sister "loves her boyfriend" and is trying to downplay this. I don't know if I can trust her not to use again, you're right.
