**I'd say the shitty environment didn't help, but she honestly did it to herself. She was a bit of a whore and the local dating pool is nothing but trash, so that's what she picked up for relationships.
I suppose "stubborn" would be a more appropriate term than "independent". As for help being given, my father paid out the ass for her to cycle in and out of rehab centers. After several years, a drained savings account, and 3 burglaries perpetrated by my sister and whatever her dick of the month was, he gave up.**
He also died of a stroke shortly after, and she raided his house for metal. Like she ripped out the fucking pipes and wiring for copper.
I never really got along with her because I would try to sit down with her and explain that she had to get her shit together for herself and her children. She didn't want to hear that and hated me for it.
I'm mad but I kinda feel like there is nothing that can be done, especially when every attempt at help is only met with malicious exploitation. It's the result of a series of unfortunate circumstances that are beyond my control, so I've just moved on.
