I just don't know
I'm struggling here... really.  I've been debating as to whether or not to share this with you all - for fear of judgment or whatever. but here it is.  This is the long and short of it in a nutshell. T here's a lot more to it, more key players but well even posting this seems like a lot to me.  So here goes:
My twin sister was diagnosed with cervical cancer and she has to undergo a hysterectomy and even then they aren't sure if that's going to be enough.  They found cancer covering her uterus and they think it may have spread into her stomach, she has an appt with a GI Dr. to do a scope and see what they can find, if anything at all.  She also had an mamagram done because they found a lump, so they did the mammogram and they did indeed find a spot.  They are running tests on it to see what it could be.  I'm not sure what is going on with her, I just know that she's got a whole lot on her plate.   She may have to go through chemo and the whole spheel.

Her dr's prescribed her Xanex and her husband left her 7 and sold the rest. Mind you this is how they make their money. They go to dr's and get scripts for Soma's, Xanex and whatever else is big right now and they flip them to make money.

My sister has borrowed over $300 from me this year and I've given it to her because her husband is so concerned with flipping the scripts that he's neglecting buying food and stuff for their house. I don't think that the kids should be punished because he's too lazy to get a real job. My twin sister can't get a job at the moment because with all the medical stuff she's about to be going through - no one will hire her knowing she will miss a lot of work due to dr visits and treatments.

I am really at a loss here. I don't understand how my sister sticks around because she is the one who normally drives "patients" to the dr's for her husband and she's just gone all day, getting pills, driving to drop off places and selling. She's a drug dealer. She told me she feels like a dealer and she has to report to her "pimp" I use those " marks because she isn't selling herself for drugs but she is selling pills which could land her smack dab in the middle of jail/prison.

I know no one can do anything, I just wanted to vent and get this out of my system.

I admire you for your honesty, there is nothing to gain by fudging the truth. You are hurting for your sister. Straight out, I hate what misuse of drugs does to families. I hope that your sister has the strength to hang on to what she is going to need for herself. She will need it.

That's a tough one. It's always rougher when kids are invloved. Maybe she just needs to get away from him, sounds like she'd stop doing what she's doing if he wasn't a factor.
I'll be praying for the both of you, I know how hard this situation is.

That is tough and no one should judge you for that... it helps to have a place to vent, maybe you could even lead her to this sight and she could vent and get support and ideas. sometimes its the advice from a stranger that gets through because the loved ones are to close to the situation.
