Here is the situation- My sister has been doing drugs for a while now, shes 24, she has been on and off with her fiance, and been going back and forth from my dad’s house, mom’s house, brother’s house, and fiance’s house for the past week. (before that she was somewhere unkown) She has amazingly crazy mood swings constantly, she wants to go to rehab when she is calm, but when we bring it up she goes insane… she keeps running away and coming back, she might still be doing meth, We are all getting tired of it…what should we do ?

Well..u could have an intervention…or ur family could take a stand and say that she cannot stay with them unless she is sober and willing to undergo a drug test to prove it–thats about all that u really can do-u can’t control someone else’s behavior, only whether or not ur going to enable that behavior

Answer by Dan M
I had a mother like this. We got her into a mental home, 6 years later after alot of hard work she’s nearly back to her old self. I don’t know what to suggest for this as i don’t know the effects of meth. I can only assure you that everything will be ok as long as you support her and get her off the drugs.

The mood swings can be avoided, try to keep her away from natural surroundings, where she may have taken drugs, or a place that reminds her of drugs.
