My sister is threatening to kill me

300chf ain't shit to me
Okay, I guess I should start by explaining a bit about my sister.

Turn back the clock to a year ago. She's a good, cute kid. Does alright in school, has a lot of nice friends, she's pretty easygoing, polite... basically your average 14-year old. I was pretty good friends with her all through our lives (I'm 2 years older than her). I'd always try to be the good big sister to her.

Anyway, last year, toward the end of the summer (she had just turned 15) she started to hang around with a real shady group of kids. Even though I'm done and graduated with school, I'd still hear stuff about them from people at work, especially from one of her ex-friends who works with me. It's the textbook dysfunctional kids: one parent is dead/in jail, the other parent doesn't work, lives off the system, ignores their kids completely. So the kids take out their "teenage angst" by comitting crimes, doing drugs, and having sex at 14 and 15 years old.

Now my sister comes from a household where everything is exactly the opposite, so why she chooses to hang out with these type of people is completely baffling to me.

Anyway, time goes on, we notice obvious changes in her behaviour (she's much more violent, cusses all the time, she's never home, always smells funny when she does come home, etc.) Finally, she gets expelled from school for fucking drinking alcohol AT SCHOOL. So now she has to go to this alternative learning center, which is basically like babysitting. And she never even goes to it.

Oh, and of course, she picks up the obligatory "tough guy" boyfriend. This guy is a 16 year old, 5 foot tall, 100 pound little cocaine addict, and is of course threatening to kick everybody's ass. The cops know him by name because he commits those cowardly little crimes, like throwing bricks through people's windows and then running away. The guy is just a little weasel, he's been dating my sister for, what, 4 months? I have never seen him face-to-face and neither have my parents. He will drive away at top speed in his tin can car if he sees any one of us but my sister walk outside. He's threatened me a few times too, because I am a complete ass to him on the phone when he calls here.

Anyway, to cut this part short and get to the point: my sister is now seriously fucked up. She has become a totally different person than she was. All of her hobbies and interests are gone... hell, we used to play PS2 together for hours, and now she won't even touch the machine. She smokes. She has sex. She drinks til she comes home and pukes all over the bathroom. She does methamphetamines, which really fuck her up and make her violent. She doesn't go to school. She runs away from home, sometimes for 3+ days at a time. She gets in trouble with the cops often.

My parents have tried to control her, but they've pretty much given up now. She is fucked up beyond belief and is a violent little bitch. I try to avoid her, because she tends to flip out for no reason as a result of whatever drugs she's on at the time, and tries to throw dangerous shit at me. Oh, I have to lock up all of my posessions, too, because she gets some sick joy out of destroying my belongings, like lighting my hairbrush on fire and cutting my clothes to pieces.

So here's where it gets good:

Last night, I was trying to clean up the kitchen, because it was a total pig sty and I wanted to make some dinner. There's stuff all over the counter, so I was putting it away. She gets back from wherever the hell she had been, just as I am putting some stuff in the fridge. I don't even acknowledge her, as usual. I pick up a can of pop and proceed to put it in the fridge.

"Put my fucking pop down." She says in this crazed voice.
"I'm just putting it away --"
"No, you're gonna drink it. Put it down."
"Okay, I'll just put it in the fridge --"

At this point she screams "no, bitch" at me, slams open the dishwasher, grabs the biggest, sharpest knife we own, and points it right in my face.

She screams something at me so fast I swear to god it sounded like she was channeling Satan and speaking in demon tongue. I'm frozen with this pop still in my hand, because my sister is still waving a knife in my face. I realize she's probably on something right now.

All I can manage to do is to calmly say "Put the knife down." And she keeps repeating "Put the pop down, put it down." I explain that I have no place to put it, because I can't move due to there being a knife in my face. I guess that made her snap out of it for a second, because she all of a sudden throws the knife in the sink.

So I'm a little less scared now that the psycho doesn't have a knife. I cautiously walk over and put the stupid can of pop on the counter exactly where it was.

"There, is that good?" I ask. Wrong choice of words! She must have thought I was mocking her, because the next moment I am having forks and butterknives thrown at my head at top speed, hot and fresh out of the dishwasher.

I mean, I'm pretty scared here. My sister is screaming things I can't understand and is going absolutely batshit insane trying to cause me harm. So I dodged or blocked what I could, pushed her backwards, and headed for my room (which is in a wing of the house just off from the kitchen). I managed to get in there and close the door just before I heard the sound of something huge and metal hit the outside of the door (turns out it was a large serving fork).

More screaming, a few more slams and loud noises, and then I hear her walk down my hall. "You're dead, bitch, you hear me? I'm going to kill you in your sleep."

Great, now every time I lie down to sleep I get to picture my sister, flying on 8 different kinds of drugs, and holding a knife at me.

So anyway, earlier tonight, I finally get the chance to tell my parents this (they're never around). And surprise surprise, I get half the fucking blame. "You shouldn't have provoked her." Uh, hello? I was CLEANING THE KITCHEN, and then I get a KNIFE pulled on me and threatened to be MURDERED all over a god damn POP. I've explained this to them a few times, but they don't seem to understand how psychotic she was acting. They seem to think she's "joking" because they're never around to see her act like this.

So I don't know what the hell to do. I know what she did to me was not right, and I honestly fear for my safety while I'm in this house. I mean, you just do not know what this kid is gonna do next or how far she will go. Everyone is telling me to call the cops on her, but I can't see how that would do anything to help me.

demi, bud, sometimes you don't have to be a joker.

cloud, that's really fucked. I think the best thing you can do is try and have your parents convinced that your sister is in serious need of some serious help. If they're responsible, they can take care of things. You're only 17 right? This isn't your problem.

Does she ever have times when she's totally cool at home? Talk to her then. Be really straight-forward, but it would probably require that she has some respect for you (if she's completely lost it, I doubt this).

You know why I prefer olimario over all of you? Because he knows how to use pictures. ;) - now, we need a picture of your family from about 2 years ago, and one on how it looks right now - and a picture of her boyfriend, and her new friends, and some pictures of the ones next door. Maybe her class? Yeah, that too.

Sounds like your parents have dropped the ball and are content living in denial. They need to get her put away somewhere.

She has to go to court tomorrow, there's a chance she could end up in juvenile detention, but it's looking more like she's going to end up with a few hours community service.

Thanks. Yeah, I'm 17... like I said, I'm pretty sure the reason my parents won't do anything is because they never get a chance to see how far she'll take things. They're barely home at all, I pretty much run the house between working (I graduated high school early). And I think part of them still believes their sweet little girl is still in there.

And she has absolutely no respect for anyone or anything. You can't even talk to her about her problems, she just starts screaming and throws a temper tantrum, like a two year old.

Don't flip the script this is about her not me, and who's joking? Sometimes if you want things done you have to do it yourself, or wait for the right moment so you can call self-defense when the deed is done.
 
Sounds like the typical teenaged girl. Give her space and let her screw up on her own time. With any luck, one of the mistakes she makes will drastically alter her misguided way of thinking.

I'm sorry but I have no respect for those types, I know a couple of those types myself and just do my best to avoid them but it's hard for you since she's your sister, and you're living in the same house. I'd for now just apologize to her, just to get her off your back and now you're nearly 18 I'd say once you're an adult, it's time to move on, get a place or something, beats having to live with her (you bear all the responsibilities that you would having your own place) and just let your parents deal with her. You shouldn't, you just tell them it's their responsibilty as her parents to make sure she grows up right, it's not your concern, you have your own life -- your sister doesn't seem to give a crap about you so why should you about her. It's my just my opinion, so for now, she seems to be pretty dangerous so I say you should apologize (not that you will mean it but it'll calm her down maybe), and do your best to avoid her when she's like that and try not to do anything that will get her mad. That's just my advice, you don't have to follow it.

Edit: Sorry for grammatical errors, I just woke up -_-

Talk to someone other than your parents about it. Do you have a family doctor?

however, if she's ever acting like that again and your folks aren't home you can call the cops. Tell them, exactly what's going on... you think your sister is high on something and she has thrown knives and forks at you and threatened to kill you. They should be at your door in no time.

When she is not there sit your parents down and tell them that you are truly worried about her and you fear for her future (jail, drugs, pregnancy) Don't turn it into a "she did this and that to me " thing because that will make your parents like you're ratting on her or criticizing their parenting methods. Stress your real fears. So put your worries on the line and then leave it up to them as the parents. If they ignore it, well there is nothing you can really do as a sibling. If you do fear for your safety or your parents safety then you have to make the hard choice of calling the cops. You don't want you or your family hurt because your sister or her boyfriend goes nuts.

This is the perfect argument for why every girl needs to have an older brother. Rowdy friends? Gone. Crackhead boyfriend? Gone.


Seriously, though, I second the whole "get her professional help" notion. Pulling a knife on anyone is not cool; given her situation, you'll never really know what she's hopped up on from day to day, so who knows what she's capable of. If I were you, I wouldn't rule out calling the cops and getting her into a rehab/counseling program (segregated from society), either. That's not a trivial thing, to pull a knife on someone like that. Inform your parents ASAP, and if they don't make it a point to at least be home more often and try to help your sister, report them to social services for negligence. Seriously-- where the heck are they?


Best of luck, and be safe.

Thanks everyone.

About sending her to rehab... I mentioned that to my parents, and I did get them to take her in for a drug test. But I heard after she had taken it that she cheated on it. I mean, it's obvious she does various kinds of drugs, and she's certainly tried them all. Anyway, the rehab place can't take her unless they have proof that she's hooked on drugs.

The only thing I worry about with getting the police involved is that it's pretty much 3 against 1, because my parents are so defensive of her. I keep mentioning to them that I hope she gets sent to juvie, and they look at me as if I have two heads. But I think it's the only thing that would straighten her out.

Oh, and for those interested: here is a really old, crappy webcam picture of us back when we were friends. I'm the squinty-eyed one on the left.
 
As both a person who generally doesn't care about drug use and someone who hung out with a crowd like hers at the same age I can honestly say once you cross the weapon line, it's no longer about fun, etc. It's obviously messed her up bad and more than likely won't quit because you or your parents say it's bad for her. She needs serious counseling and rehab.

Think twice before doing anything, because you never know if what you will be doing will help you out in the end, it could put you in trouble. You're somehow right to worry about the police: it's three voices against one. I think your sister is going to try to use every single unfair advantage to her own advantage. Parents in such situations, it's so much easier to deny such things (it's hard to conceive for them), and they don't want to put down anyone, nor risk anyone's future; maybe this is what is happening to you right now. I think they are saturated with this and might use you as a scapegoat, which is incredibly unfair. If you do anything drastic, it might freak them out. Think of your own safety before doing any of these kinds. If they ever told you to ignore such things, that's bullshit; it's much easier to be comfortably numb than to really settle problems such as yours. Sometimes people like these won't believe anything until confronted to something really brutal; what if something terrible happened and it's too late? They never see that (probably your sister manage to avoid this and acts in hypocritical ways), and i also think they do not want to see these kind of things. The problem is that you're at risk. It might be better to plot a way to get you out of this mess, but you might want to keep a low-profile and think of your own safety.

And you're right, it can serve no purpose to try to reason or to talk to someone like your sister: they have the advantage, why the hell would they adapt to yourself? Never let anyone make you believe that, I don't think your sister will ever listen to you, or to anyone, probably force will be necessary to convince her of anything unfortunately. I think all apathetic and smartass people should stay clear out of this thread: first this isn't funny, and second sometimes you don't really have anyone you can rely to.

Woah. Your sister is kinda hot for a dopefiend.

I say send her to Maury Povich. That man will straighten her out for you and put her in a dress at the end of the show. You also get a nice weekend in a hotel, and you get to watch your sister on hidden camera trash a dressing room and steal obviously planted items.

Or you could do what I would do (and this is where it shows that I am an only child):

I would wait for an opportune moment and start a conversation with her about how her life is going straight to shit and how her path will probably force her to die young. When she gives the usual I dont care if I die young BS... just brush it off and let it go.

Then that night, get your friends to come over with a van and have them completely dressed head to toe in black... kidnap your sister, toss her in the van, and take her to secluded woods. Make sure these dudes can overpower her of course. Tie her to a tree, tell her that if she doesnt care if she dies young that you are going to help her out and speed it along.... and then just leave her there.

Of course, you stay a fair distance away but within eye contact to make sure nothing bad really happens to her, but you do a good bit of scaring the shit out her too. It is my experience that nothing fucks with a kid who was good then went bad more than knowing someone they know is even more fucked up and scary then they claim to be.
-----------------------

EDIT: In all honesty though, you should spend some time thinking about what she gets from these people emotionally that she cannot get at home or from her old friends. Things like this are teenage rebellion taken to the extreme, but they all have similar emotional roots. Emotionally co-opting the groups power of her is one good way of cutting her out of that bad system and replacing her into the good.

^ You hit the nail right on the head Jotaro. Everything you mentioned is exactly how I feel. It's really a mess right now, I'm really confused and I don't know what to do. I feel like I should go spend the summer with a friend and just get away for a while, let my parents see what it is like to deal with her.

umm.. doing nothing sounds like TERRIBLE advice to me. Just ignore all the problems around you eh? I'm thankful I've not had to pull out the big brother card much at all, but as family I feel you should at keep trying to reason with her, not threaten her with rehab or whatever (yet) as it may seem to her that you are just working against her, but be persistent and see if you can reach her on her better days and tell her how much her behavior is frightening you. Try not to give up I guess..
 
I usually don't give advice in threads like these, but your story is eerily similar to what I dealt with when I was growing up. My sister is 4 years younger than I am, and she went through the same changes at about the same age as yours. I'll spare you the story (it's virtually the same anyway) and just tell you how it turned out. Nothing anybody did ever straightened her out, not me, not my parents, not professionals. She flunked out of high school, and my parents finally realized that it wasn't something they could fix, and it wasn't something she was going to grow out of. They signed her over to to a boarding school in the middle of nowhere designed for delinquents like these. It made her better, but it wasn't enough to make her normal.

Until I moved out, like you, there was basically nothing I could do. No point to talking, and my overprotective parents would punish me for retaliating, so I just tried to stay as far away from my sister as possible. For a long time I had to lock and barricade myself in my room, until I went to college. I wish there had been a better way, but this was how I got through living with a complete psycho. After you leave, your parents will have to pick up the slack and figure out how to deal with her, which should wake them up, but at that point it's not really your problem anymore.

Your parents are in that obvious denial phase. They want to believe the problem will go away with time, and it can only get worse.

You really need to snap at them, and tell them to take responsibility for the family. If you have the chance, move in with a relative for the time being to stress the point, and obviously, also to make certain you are safe.

By the way, DEFINITELY involve the cops when situations like what you just mentioned occur. Do not wait until things get out of hand to use that resource. Better be safe than sorry.

If your parents don't believe you or want to live in denial, involve someone else. Talk to a school counselor (at the school your sister is attending) and get them involved. They might know better steps to take.

Best thing to do is really to take action and don't let it get out of hand. Again, your parents need to take responsibility for that.

Thank you for sharing that.

My situation sounds so very similar... I just usually lock myself in my room when she's home, and avoid her like the plague. If I do one little thing to make her flip out, it's all my fault. And if I fight back, I get rediculous punishments. So I have given up on that, I just let her do her worst and I simply run. Maybe not too honorable, but at least it keeps things less messy when my parents catch wind of it.

I really went off on them earlier today, I was so upset I was nearly screaming... trying to explain to them all of the things that is wrong with my sister. But every time I do this, they always always ALWAYS flip it around and start yelling at me about MY faults, which are insignifcant when compared to my sister. I don't know why they do this. It's like they feel they can't just punish one kid, they have to do it to both of us. All the time.

I'd say get out of there. Whether it's a summer away like already mentioned, college or getting your own place (kinda hard when 17 but still).

Nothing will happen untill your parents acknowledge the fact that the path your sister is heading in, is not the right one. And that's something you probably won't be able to get into their heads. (Hell, even I won't take advice from a 17-year old. And I'm a mere 5 years older...) They have to experience it first hand for it to actually snap in their heads.

I'd imagine that rigging the place with cameras and docu'ing it 24/7 isn't an option, nor is telling what she did. Beyond the "taking advice from a minor" it'll just sound like sibling rivalry anyways (this I had experience with!). And as you already mentioned, they'll say you provoked those actions.

I don't know how much of the neighbourhood you want involved with this situation but calling the cops when she goes crazy might also be an option. It will at least alert your parents. Be weary though that it may counter to you as well. "That poor 15 year old scared to death all alone by herself in jail after her manipulative 17 year old sister lied to the cops to get her send to jail" kinda thing ;) And the ironic thing is, your parents will probably take decisions at that point, kicking you out or something.

Thus, get out of the hours for a month or so. Vacations are the perfect example and staying over at relatives the cheapest way you can get away, if that's a option for you of course. And rather sooner than later before something REALLY nasty happens

You need to confront her directly and let her know you are in control. This girl has no restrictions what soever, shes spoiled rotten. She does whatever s he wants and no one lifts a finger.

You have to confront her, be strong, dont be whiny just act like an older brother. Make her understand shes fucking up and at the same time shes fucking over everyone who cares bout her. If she doesnt care, pick her ass up and make her care. You dont have to throw any bows or anything, but she seriously sounds like she needs some sort of wake up call. She cant just go out and do whatever she wants and threaten people and get away with it.

First, I'm sorry you have to go through this with a sister, especially one that was so close and is so obviously influenced by crappy people.
My advice to you is to selflessly serve her. Do things for her, show her you love her in indirect ways, and don't start conflict with her. As she starts to see the destruction of her life, she'll come to the person she trusts to at least talk about it and that will be you.

I've been through stuff like this with a couple of my friends and just takes selfless, loving persistence. It will rarely be easy, but the payoff could be great. It sounds like you love your sister very much.

And if you want, I'll punch her boyfriend in the face for you.


EDIT
Everyone telling you to get out of the situation and telling you to leave it to your parents is wrong. Your sister will continue the destructive life if there is no one there she can turn to and kids rarely turn to their parents. They turn to good friends and trusted siblings. If you give up on her then her only path to safety may be gone.

Seriously sorry to hear about this dude. It must be difficult to lose someone like this. But hell don't come to GAF for advice, call a Youth Help Line and tell them your situation. If you guys are religious go talk to your priest or whoever. Go back to your high school and talk to a counsellor. Get advice from people who know what the heck they're doing (The Youth help line would be most useful maybe). Maybe you can stage a one person intervention or something. Frankly from what you've said, it seems like getting her into rehab as soon as possible is the best possible thing. But yeah do something soon.

Edit: One thing though, you said your parents are barely ever at home, and in your story you said you 'barely acknowledged her as usual'. Now I'm certain that you started avoiding her after she got seriously screwed up, but if you've been busy with school/work yourself (as your story seems to indicate), then she might have started to consider her druggie friends to be her only real friends for a long time now.

Do you still love her? If so (and I'm sure if you search deep down, you'll find that you have at least some love for her remaining), then tell her that you do and that you care about her and that you don't like seeing her like that. At the very least, she'll know that someone genuinely cares about her and it just might make her think twice about what she's doing before it's too late.

You're still her big sister and sisters, imo, are supposed to look after each other. If you reaching out doesn't help, then she ruined herself despite your best efforts to help her.

YOU CAN DO IT!

How does a person change so dramatically from one year to the next? I mean if she was really a sweet innocent kid at 14, how does she become this huge pyscho threatenting to kill you kid at 15? Was there something in her past that has been triggered and she's now acting out her agression. I don't believe in a massive personality change in such a short time unless there are deeper problems lurking there.

Sp0rsk, being judgemental WON'T help anything at this point. The time for tough love was a while ago when she started hanging out with those friends and before she started doing drugs. If she's at the point of pulling knives on people then professional help is needed.

I guess...but if the underlying personality is a good person, I think you can get her back to that by somehow getting her off the drugs.
 
my little bro was a terror, thankfully I was able to knock the shit out of him time and time again, now hes normal albeit a bit eccentric and funny.
 
She clearly has no respect for you or your family. You seem to care more about the problem than your sister. Kids with no respect can only learn the hard way. Start by putting your food down.

Seriously, go talk to your parents or something.. or if they do didley-squat, stop being pussy-whipped around and take the leash from her for a fucking change. Christ boy. Raise your voice and fist, threaten to pummel her into the next two rooms over if she doesn't shut up.

Lisa Edelstein's dad touched my private parts. True fact.
As I'm sure you know, girls her age are emotional firecrackers regardless of drug choice --but hormone driven amphetamine use seems like something that could seriously affect her for the rest of her life. Write a letter to your parents or a family doctor--perhaps an aunt or uncle. All the horror stories people have told aside my girlfriend used to be this famous-wild-bat-shit-Coloradan-raver with a penchant for truley excessive drug use and agressive behavior. You would never believe me should you have the opportunity to meet her today. I think you've still time to help her clean herself up, don't ignore it but take heed. Later.
 
The very first thing you need to do is make sure that your own safety is assured. If your sister is pulling a knife on you, and throwing stuff at you, even if it is with the influence of drugs, you need to hit up whomever you can trust i.e. a counselor, a religious figure, whatever and let them know that YOU feel threatened. It sounds like shrinky-touchy-feely crap but let your parents know this to. It seems that they won't respond to any accusations you make about your sister; instead tell them the same thing; that you're scared, you feel threatened etc. without ever saying "she's doing this, etc." If you put yourself in a vulnerable position, they may finally be able to see what's going on, while if you start accusing her of doing stuff, they may get defensive and accusatory themselves.

As far your sister, don't try to avoid the situation as it could either a) go away on its own, or b) keep getting worse and end up really bad, where in many cases, it's option 'b'. Professional intervention may be required, but a lot of times the person has to have some twinge of willingness (unless you ship her off to Maury.) Anyhow, whatever course is made, make sure you're okay first of all.

Cloud, as you can see, an Internet video game forum in not the best place to ask for advice on this sort of thing, since your parents seem oblivious to the gravity of the situation I would suggest seeking out some other adult figures of authority in your life that you can trust and can advise you well. If you have an uncle or some other relative living nearby that would be ideal, otherwise, someone like a school guidence councellor or teacher that you feel comfortable confiding to.


edit: I see IamtheFman already beat me to it, he talks sense.

Yeah, in all seriousness a counselor seems like a great route to go. I know back in my high school we had a few really great people working in that office that offered a lot of help.
