I am sorry for such heavy burdens that your family (especially your sister) must bear. Don't beat yourself up about your inability to influence them to try something different. We have to allow others the freedom of choice in order to maintain our right to freedom of choice. God hears and He knows and understands what you all are going through...He is the one that can change hearts and minds. I just pray that the Lord gives your family the strength to deal with these trials. Just remember that God loves your sister more than you ever can and He wants the best for her. Pray without ceasing. God bless you and your family...

Edit...I see she is a friend that is like a sister...you are blessed to have such a close friend...we can be assured that God knows who we are praying for...
