My sisters husband passed away yesterday evening. He had what was apparently a seizure due to the use of drugs. He was 28 years old. My sister is also a drug addict and it wouldn't surprise me if the same thing happened to her. Their drug of choice is oxy-contin, and they do it every way you can. She has been diagnosed with hepatitus c due to the sharing of needles. I pray that she can change her life before it is to late. Now I need a little advice, due to to her lifestyle and health I have chosen to distance myself and my children from her. Do you all think I am wrong in this decision. I don't want my children subjected to hepatitus or drug use. Please reply with ways to handle this situation. Please pray for her.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I am praying for you to know what to do, your sister to stop doing drugs, and your children to learn that drugs are bad. God bless, TwiceSaved

I am sorry forjesus at the death of your brother in law, a needless death it seems. It saddens me to see people try to fill the void in their life with so many things when what they truly need is the love and peace of their Savior, but they just can't seem to recognize that need because they are so consumed with their own desires. That is the real tragedy.
As for your sister, that is a tough situation. I know how frustrated you must feel at wanting her to change but not being able to get through to her. Perhaps the death of her husband may be the wake up call she needs in seeing what path lays before her if she continues on in her current habits. Maybe reaching out to her during this time maybe just the right time to get through to her. Whatever you decide, I would definately ask the Lord to open the doors and open her heart. I truly believe there is no mess we make in our lives that He can't take and turn around for our good. While your sister may have taken some pretty wrong turns and made some wrong choices, she is still alive and that means there is still hope for her. Praying for you and for her and for God to mend your relationship and to heal her of her addictions.
