Requested by: Sister
Location: Illinois, USA
Issue: Family
What’s going on? My sister Jessica is 33 years old. She has been estranged from my mother and I for nearly 4 years. Our father passed away 10 years ago, and I've seen her struggle to get herself on her feet ever since. Over the years, she's battled with drug abuse and addiction, which has only gotten worse since the pandemic. She's done some very hurtful things to people closest to her just to get by. Since our last falling out, we haven't spoken a word to each other and she's continued to block my mom out of her life too, preventing us from reuniting as a family. I am 3 years younger than her, and though we've always had our differences, I miss having my only sister in my life. I only wish the best for her and want her to succeed and to just be happy.
Recently (in November), she had a very bad scooter accident that left her with a broken jaw, broken arm and a missing tooth. I am extremely worried for her physical and mental wellbeing. I fear she might fall into a deeper struggle with drug abuse and addiction with all of the pain she's experiencing. I feel unable to talk to her, as she still has me blocked on social media and lives in another state. I want her to know that she always has a support system back home where her family is, that we love her so much and miss her tremendously.
What do you love most about this girl? My sister is one of the most creative people I know. I've always looked up to her for her cool sense of style, music, and overall taste in art and culture. She has a vibrant imagination and so many creative hobbies. She loves dance, cooking, drawing and painting and so many other art mediums that her and I have bonded doing together. She has a beautiful singing voice too. She's always been driven by passion and a desire for making beautiful things. She is beautiful. She's also intelligent, witty, and has a charming sense of humor. Any nostalgic Spongebob reference will definitely hit home for her.
