Dear Abby: My drug-addicted criminal sister often is in trouble and sometimes violent. Now that my dad has died, she's rurned on my mom. What can we do?
Three days before Dad passed, he was again trying to bail her out of a situation involving people she knew who stole her car. While Dad was driving her, she lost her temper and struck him multiple times as my mother begged her to stop. Dad died a few days later, perhaps not from the assault, but his body just said, “Enough!”
