Sorry you are about your sister it really sounds like you care about her, I really don't know what to say but just give her a chance to demostrate that she is clean and that she will stay that way if not you are going to have to cut your relationship with her  even if it hurts you.

Hello Jules
She will be living at my parents house and yes a job is a must. My parents have a lot health problems my mom has vagina cancer and dad has had back surgery so both on pain meds but they don't abuse theirs. She is a very manic person and can be so mean mom just don't have energy or strength to fight with her. She has been told in all letters they have wrote her while she was in jail the rules and that things under no way will go back to how they were but she just don;t care she is all about herself ........

Hi Holliee,

Where is your sister going to live? With your parents? She will need to have rules with consequences. I would recommend weekly drug testing, curfews, she must get a job.
She is going to have to want to stay clean....
