Thank you for the link - I will definitely read this.
well, to tell you truth, my answer to that is a question to you. who are you trying to save here? your sister or the kids? because at this point, after reading each your posts a few times, i'm not sure what your goal is here. it sounds to me like you mostly want to get the kids in a safe environment more than getting your sister clean. although you haven't really stated anything showing that their safety is truly in jeopardy- sure letting them run around unsupervised and unfed is wrong but not necc. unsafe, depends on many things.

so i guess my point is this, if you want your sister to deal with her addiction you have to do nothing, even your family has turned away from her (as you mentioned).

if you want to *save* the kids, then fuck her and her addiction and get the kids, i don't know the best way for you to do that, i'm more versed at getting drunks and druggies help.
