One of the things i've learned with my stepkids is that the more times you let them come back after doing the same routine, the longer they will continue the same routines. They've imprinted in their thought patterns that no matter how far out of bound they go, they always have a fallback position. I had to delete that fallback position for myself. They are no longer welcome in my life or my home until they make the changes necessary to be decent human beings. Once they can prove that to me, which will take several years now, they I will consider another relationship with them.
As much as you love your baby sister D, I think thats what you have to do. sometimes people need to learn their mistakes the hard way.
