Michelle5's Journal

I am not sure how much I have went into this with you all but my sister who is a RN has been dating a guy who is actually the father of my nephew who is almost 16.  The guy wanted nothing to do with him when he found out she was PG and so for about 13 yrs there was no contact with him until Rick the father got sick and ended up at the hosptial where my sister worked.  Well he thought he was going to die and wanted to meet his son so my sister talked it over with tim my nephew and he decided he would meet with him.  At first it was all great.  Rick made a great attempt to be a good dad while in the hospital.  Then all the sudden he got better and my sister desided it would be great to try living as a family.  well little did we know that Rick had a HUGE drug problem and brough it with him.  Tim seen a lot that he revealed to us later once he moved in with my other sister.  One thing was that Rick offered Tim a Vicoden to take and when Tim took the pill to his mother she laughed and said your father was just testing to see if you would take it or tell some one.  Well lets just say that was it and he no longer went back there again.  My nephew was so hurt that his own mother who would have gave him the whole would stay with this man and let her son move out.  Well for the next 3 yrs my sister became worse stating that the family was against her the whole time she would still ask us for money.  She never once came to see me when I was PG knowing how much this baby ment to me but did make a attempt to see the baby once I had here and only saw her 2 times in the whole 10 months.  She continues to stand by her druggy of a man stating that he was getting better and that we would wait and see.  Well yesterday I got a call at work stating that this man over dosed on my sister and though she tried her hardest to keep him alive he died at the er.  My sister pushed everyone away included her own son to be with this loser and now he is died.  I have to say though my family is still there for her.  we went to the hospital and drove her to do all the arrangment.  she even slept at my sister last night.  I took my daughter over to see her for the 3rd time to.  She is a mess and I hate to see her like this because no mater what she is my sister and I will always love her.  I just hope this has opened her eyes to what she has been with and what she has pushed away.
