So...kind of strange

Forgive me if I posted this yesterday? My brain isn't working.

I just found out that my sisters Dad was manufacturing meth and blew up his meth lab, seriously injuring two people. He's now in prison with a $100,000 bail and probably in there for life. (Wane, Indiana)

My sister is in the Airforce and across seas right now, so she has no idea. She doesn't really know him at all or even consider him her father, more like a sperm donor. Still, it makes me really sad for my sister. I wish that we shared the same Dad and that she knew the meaning of having a good father in her life. Her father is such a piece of poo and she deserves better. 

I wish I could hug her right now.

  • I'm sorry that this was the first thing that popped into my head when I read the first part of your post:

    Seriously though, I feel terrible for your sister, even if you're not close to your father and only considered them to be a sperm donor, it's still your father.  This is only made more difficult by the fact that she is overseas currently and will not have any real family around her when the news is delivered to her.  :/  That's really rough.  How is giving her the news being handled?  Are you able to speak with her at all?

  • The only way I could tell her is by facebook and I really don't want to do that. She's coming home in a few months and I think it would be better if I talked to her in person. I'm not sure how upset she will get and I want her to be around family that she does have.

    Yeah I wouldn't want to tell her via facebook either. That is such a tough situation. :/ on one hand I'd worry that she would want to know sooner but I'd definitely want to tell her when she has a support system should she need it. Good luck, I'm sure you'll handle it.the best way you possibly can.
