Oh poor David.......oh I do detest people who try to humiliate people, especially in public......no excuse for that.

Sounds like your sister has a serious problem, and as you say, her liver might be shot to shit. That is serious, but unlikely anyone can do anything unless she wants their help.

I would make a point of not inviting her out with you, next time she visits, and if she asks Why...tell her.

Other than her, the rest of the group sound like they were out to enjoy a nice family gathering.

God that's a difficult one - but she needs to want to help herself before you can - I can understand why you dread her coming. It's natural.

 :-* :-* :-*

CellarDweller:
Wow!

David, I'm sorry to hear what your sister did.  That was really cruel.

Sounds like she has a major drinking problem, and like others have said, you can't help her until she decides to help herself.

That being said, you have a right to not be the target of anger and abuse in public, and I would refuse to go anywhere with her.  And if she were to ask why, I'd tell her EXACTLY why.

David In Indy:
Thanks. Jess, Sue, Kelda and Chuck! :-*

She leaves tomorrow. My niece is taking her back to the airport for her flight home. She tried to talk me into it. She even tried to volunteer me last night at the restaurant. We were talking about what time her flight left (she picked the latest flight on Frontier she could) and when Christy said she would be driving Susan out there, Susan loudly proclaimed "David will take me!" She said we both could go out there and drink together before her flight took off. I was like oh hell no, and she got mad about it.

She has a terrible drinking problem. She's had it for years. She learned it off my parents who were both chronic alcoholics. My Mother died an alcoholic. I remember Mom wanting me to sneak her wine up to her while she was in the hospital dying. Dad had to give it up for awhile when his kidneys began to fail. Now he drinks again, but not nearly as much as he used to.

Susan was brought up in a world of alcohol. She learned it. This is not an excuse, but it's a bit sad all the same.

injest:
yes, it is sad..and I know you love your sister. I am just glad you were strong enough to tell her no on the airport thing.

I am so sorry sweet David..
