    Hi folks. Call me James. It's not my name, but close enough.

    I posted unregged here before about this very same problem a while back. The title was Sister Smoking Heroin. I was unable to find the thread, as I don't remember exactly when I posted it (it was within the last 12 months anyway), and the search function isn't great here. Mods (or anyone else for that matter), can you add a link if you can find the old thread? It explains the back-story (which is really long and quite awful) and I'm not interested in getting into that right now unless someone specifically asks.

    About 60 minutes ago I logged out of boards (I'm a fairly regular poster), and I was heading towards the stairs when I found the front door slightly ajar. I opened to see if anyone was around, and my sister was sitting in her car with a lighter under a piece of tinfoil, with a glass rod in her mouth. I tapped on the window, and told her that she should be ashamed of herself. She came into the hall and tried to come clean about her problems cleaning up and whatnot. I informed her that I would prefer if she used a rope, and I walked off. She's just driven off somewhere, probably to give her friend a lift as I told the friend that she was not welcome here anymore (as she knew about this). If she doesn't come back, I'm honestly not sure I'd care.

    I'm not sure why I'm posting here because I don't know what kind of advice or replies I want. It's a cold kind of fury that I'm feeling right now - I didn't feel any desire to get violent with my sister or anything - I just feel absolute contempt for her. I suppose the one thing I would like advice on is how to manage living with her for the next two weeks. We're both still living at home, and my folks are away until Friday week. I took time off work to train (I've got something coming up) and she doesn't work in the summer. So it will just be the two of us. Also, I've a job interview in a few days, and I can't go into that with my head in this place.

    I know this all sounds like I am a man totally devoid of empathy and compassion. That isn't quite right: I just have no empathy or compassion for my sister right now.
