My sister is almost 6 months pregnant and has recently relapsed on cocaine uses all IV drugs  she isn't even the sister i know and love when she is using. She just got her children back from Children Services/foster home. They are 2 and 3 years old the most wonderful babies in the world smart, blonde hair, blue eyes, most of all so damn loving... They love there mommy so much it kills me to see them hurt, see her hurt them. Christmas is coming, so far she isn't even caring.They know what is going on in a way they mommy isn't loving like she should. There dad provokes my sister, He knows how sick she is and how hard she tries to stay sober and truely desires it she is so happy when she is drug free. I don't know how to handle this situation I want her to achieve her dreams be the mom she loves to be... My heart is broke she won't listen to reason, because I am an addict as well as you all know I have been in recovery almost 5 weeks now...How do you make her see she is repeating our childhood with her own children? Our mom went to prision left us, ODed infront of us. Should I write a letter remindeing her of this that we went threw, sit her down talk to her, blackmail her no I wouldn't do that but damn I am not giving up on her she never gave up on me. I am so stressed out. She just called and made it threw Day 1, I spent 2 hours letting her cry on my shoulder today, taking her grocery shopping in the morning, getting her a Christmas tree this weekend. I work all the time when I am not working. I am my meetings, doing my steps, drug and alcohol counsling, probation, shopping that is it besides talking to a great new friend of mine. Without him this would be so much worse. What do I do? How to I cope? Anybody ever dealt with this so close to home? Or while they were pregnant? I need some input from experienced people as yourselves, I have no children but I couldn't see my self hurting them as she does her own. Thank you for reading.... Any words would help........

Yes I have been on the fourm for about 5 weeks now its with the support of you all I have made it 37 days sober this was my inspiration to do what I need to and know I am not alone. I just don't know how to make her see she is repeating history?

I pray that God will touch this situation and open up the mind of your sister to acknowledge her troubles and for her to ask for help.
I encourage you to keep doing what you are doing. You sound like a wonderful sister. If you can, ask God for his wisdom and direction.
Have you ever had her read this forum? It might help her to know she is not alone and that others are making it through, so she can too.
