her daughter was addicted to pain pills, she has been in rehab and put in jail because her urine came back positive, my sister is about to lose it, and her husband has been dead for a few years.I’d like to know what if anything I could do to help my sister out. She is just at a rock and a hard place. We talk on the phone once a week, and I let her vent her problems to me, but I feel so bad for her, she didn’t do anything wrong, yet she is being punished. Her daughter also, lost her house, and is having to wear a ankle monitor for a few years. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated, please only ones who will help, not smart remarks. Can you help?

My daughter is in her mid 20′s. She has had little clean time over the last 4 years. She has been through rehab centers and jail. She is now a convicted felon. But I received information from a trusted person (she does not live with me) that she “has one foot in the grave.” She looks horrible, expensive daily for H, so she is prostituting daily. Therefore, I called her local crisis center to try and force (green warrant) her into treatment. But I was not getting much help. So, I called the police who promptly told me if she did not answer the motel door (where she is living) there was nothing he could do. But, they agreed to check her out, and if there were were drugs in sight, etc she would be arrested. I love my daughter so I would rather she be alive and in jail. A little later my daughter calls me screaming wanting to know why I called the police. I understand her addiction, which seems to have spurs, so I told her because I love her. She told me “now you will never know where I am again” and hung up on me. I am at a lost for help. She has no health insurance and because she is a felon she is limited to assistance.
