A family member that you’re not that close to is dangerously involved with drugs. What would you do?

Question by Tara: A family member that you’re not that close to is dangerously involved with drugs. What would you do?
Talking to this person is not an option; this person is destructive to everyone including herself. She has major problems but acts like everything is ok to the rest of the family. I don’t want to be a snitch AT ALL or cause problems in the rest of the family, but it is to the point where I am concerned that she is in some real trouble. I can’t reach her through her friends, because they are at least as involved in this stuff as she is. What should I do?

My husband knows everything about this situation also, and it has helped to talk to him about it, but he is also unsure of what to do.

To clarify: this isn’t ‘I know someone that smokes weed sometimes.’ These are hard drugs and the problems that come with them.
I definitely don’t and won’t enable this person. I do not even like her. Other members of the family enable her without realizing it, though… like they give her money ‘for school books’ or ‘for gas’ and that’s not where it goes. I don’t know if I should tell them or not. Perhaps my real concern is not even for/about her, but for members of the family that she is affecting. I do not think that they would ‘help her with bills’ if they knew a bill means a dealer.

You can’t do a thing. If you told any one she would lie!
You will have to distance your self!
And don’t look.
If she is over 21, then you have to leave her to go to rock bottom.

Keep yourself fresh till then, then you will be able to help her.

Very sad and heart breaking but the only way!!

Answer by bored writer
I understand that you don’t want to trash her, but seriously, tell another family member, someone close to her, that you’re at least worried because shes been acting different lately… and maybe mention you saw her doing something once. A mad family member is better than a dead one.
