Is this horrible of me?

[Youmadbro]

So... Recently my cousin (Will not say her name for discrimination's sake) has started taking drugs. Her life kind of went down-hill due to a recent event, and now she's taking a turn for the worst. She's being a really just... Horrible person. Last night she cursed me out on the phone for asking her if there is anything I can do to help her.
My parents have been asked by hers to take her in for a few months. (They're actually my aunt and uncle... They're the only normal couple that hasn't done anything bad besides my cousin's mom, who is a saint) My parents said yes, and said I should be a good influence on her.
But here is where I get terrible myself. I don't want her to move here... I think she'll just make my parents and I miserable, and that she needs to go to a rehabilitation center or something.
Is that terrible of me? Because I told my dad, and he said it seemed rather rude of me.

I think your feelings are right on the mark, and it is silly to move a drug addicted person from one house to the other. There is no way your cousin is going to get better, and if anything, she will negatively impact your family. You're right that your cousin needs to go to a treatment center and not be outsourced to another family. I don't blame you for not wanting a drug addict in your house because when a person is addicted to drugs they become a totally different person. The person lives for the drugs rather than doing normal things, and the drug addict no longer is the person you once knew.

I would bring up your feelings again with your parents, but chances are there might not be much you can do if the decision has already been made. If your cousin is going to end up staying with you guys, then the most important thing you can do is secure your valuables. I knew someone who was in your same position, and the person's relative was stealing his valuables and selling them off for drug money. Never leave your money laying around when there is a drug addict at home, and invest in a safe deposit box at a bank to hold stuff you value. Keep an eye out for valuables around the house, and if you notice stuff starting to go missing, then let your parents know. Chances are if your cousin is into drugs and is hard core, then she will start stealing from you guys if she doesn't have a job or money to support herself.

Chances are your cousin will not last with your family long if she does come living with you, and the immediate consequence will be a falling out between your family and your cousin's. It is really too bad that your cousin's family just doesn't get her treatment rather than thinking a change of scenery will make things better. When a person is on drugs, they need help to deal with their problems rather than running away from them.

Hmm i am not too sure, i know sometimes with people on drugs you kind of fell sorry for them in a way and sometimes you may not want to have them anywhere near you, Why dont you try it if it works great! if not then oh well at least you tried!

Message me sometime!

I hope you get your cousin back, too, but I would not be too optimistic especially if her drug abuse is pretty bad. At this point your cousin and her family have to work together to get her better, but nothing is going to happen unless there is a willingness on your cousin's part to get off drugs. The big mistake that folks make with drug abusers is simply telling them to stop or shipping them off to someplace else instead of going after the reason why the person takes drugs in the first place.

More than anything, have realistic expectations of your cousin, and don't expect her to be the same person you once knew. Drugs change people in a really bad way, and you are best keeping your distance because drug abusers can and will do anything to get what they want from you so that they can get their next fix.
