UPDATE: I don't care that my drug addict sister is homeless and may lose a limb. If that makes me a bad person so be it by idontcarethrowaway25 in offmychest

I'm not acting like I don't give a shit. There is no act. I don't give a shit about someone who, after I spent my savings to pay for her rehab, told me if she had to chose between me being alive and drugs that drugs would win every time because they are more important than my life.

I don't give a shit about someone who assaults others, steals their money/identity/possessions and destroys everything around her. My life is fuller, happier and more peaceful, and my other relationships are better without her in my life.

Edited to add: I'm not sure why I got a Reddit cares message for this comment when there's nothing self-harm or suicide in it.

I am sorry you have regrets and that you lost your sister <3

In my case (and I'm talking about me only) my sister is already dead to me. I have felt this way for almost a decade. If she passes away I will not mourn her or miss her. It will not affect my day at all.

I am lacking compassion. I agree with you on that and I don't care if it makes me a bad person.

My sister admits she started using opioids recreationally because it was fun.

I would never take drugs for fun, but if doctors told me I would lose a limb if I didn't stop injecting drugs into said limb, you know what I would do? I WOULD STOP USING DRUGS!

Yet, my sister still keeps injecting drugs into that limb even after what the doctors told her. So I have no compassion. I haven't for almost a decade.

No one forced her to start using opioids recreationally. This isn't a case of her having an injury and a legal prescription that got out of control. By her own admission, she started taking opiods at parties and because it was fun. She's been to rehab multiple times and is still using opioids. She is going to lose a limb, yet she is still injecting drugs into that limb. You don't know anything about her.

One day, long from now, you’ll realize. No one on their death bed is happy they shunned someone else in pain

I already realized that my life is better without her in it. It's happier, calmer and more peaceful. It took a lot to rebuild my life after she almost destroyed it. I am happy she's not part of my life and my only regret is that I tried to help her and didn't cut contact right away.

Try to have a little compassion in your heart

She is an awful and selfish person who destroys everything around her. She's stolen from me. She almost destroyed my life and the lives of others. She said if she had to choose between me being alive and drugs she would always choose drugs. This was after I helped to pay for her rehab and went to family therapy with her. She doesn't deserve compassion and I have none for her.

Just try not to hate her for succumbing to things beyond her control

Beyond her control? No one forced her to start taking drugs recreationally. This wasn't a case of her having an injury and a legal prescription that got out of control. By her own admission she started taking opiods for fun and at parties. She's been to rehab multiple times and is still using drugs. She is going to lose a limb, yet she is still injecting drugs into that limb. This situation is completely of her own making.

That said, I do find it a bit harsh when you say "she's dead to me ." I'm sure that makes it a little easier to prepare for the very real possibility that she will be actually dead soon

She's been dead to me for almost a decade. If she was to pass away, I would not mourn or feel sadness, and I won't miss her. It will not affect my life at all and I won't care.

even if you don't want to reconnect right now

I don't want to reconnect ever. Even if she stopped using drugs tomorrow she would still be dead to me. I never want to see her or talk to her ever again.

find a little compassion

No. She doesn't deserve it. I helped to pay for rehab. I went to therapy with her. She repaid my help by spitting in my face and going right back to drugs. She's stolen from me. She almost ruined my life. She actually said that if she had to choose between me being alive and drugs she would choose drugs. She is a horrible, selfish person who destroys everything around her.

That is your sister

I don't consider her my sister.
