Everyone knows that "crazy uncle" or weird family member but crazy homeless drug addict

Every family has at least one black sheep but is there a full on drug addict, crazy homeless person in your immediate family?
I see them all over the place and always think to myself that's someone's child or parent or sibling and how hard it has to be do deal with them/let them go.
Do any baws here have an IMMEDIATE family member that is a strung out homeless crazy person living under a bridge somewhere? Not some distant relative etc.

I do not, and I am very thankful for that. I don't take it for granted. It breaks my heart to see other people having to deal with this type of thing within their family.

We would have had one of my husband's aunts fitting that description, but his Uncle, her brother, moved her back to their home town and made sure she had a place to live and food to eat and medicine to take.

Had one but she died of an OD.
Really a waste

Your mom was for the streets until I gave her some assistance.

In my line of work I come across this from time to time. Usually the individual has burned every bridge from lying to, stealing from, and even hurting loved ones to feed their drug habit. At some point the family gets fed up and no longer want to help someone who doesn’t want to help themselves.

There is one of my first cousins, once removed (my first cousin's child) has been in and out of drug rehab for two decades. Has had two children, from two men with no benefit of marriage. Both kids do not live with her. She's pregnant with a third. The guy is a loser. All men in her life are. She's living with my aunt who is an economic wreck from bailing out her kids and grandkids. We don't understand it. The rest of the family on my Dad and other uncle's side are all either executives, own their own business or have retired, and all their siblings are successful, as well, most with college degrees. Not a single cousin or their kids on this uncle's side are. They are all government moochers. My uncle retired a full bird colonel from the Air Force, was an all-state athlete, college degrees, flew F4's in Vietnam, but after he left the Air Force he was not a good businessman, nor did he leave my aunt in a good financial position. We don't even have family reunions anymore because nobody wants to be around them.

When my brother was still drinking, he told my mom he knew he would end up homeless. He didn't have any kind of income at the time. He later told us when he stopped drinking that he had accepted that he would become homeless but he had thought it would be ok as long as he could still drink. Luckily, he had a wake up call by ending up on the hospital and then got sober.

My wife has an aunt that has come across hard times. Most of her own doing I think. I've never met her and I'm not sure my wife has, she's never met alot of her family. She lived in NC, and for awhile there were discussions about getting her to Louisiana and trying to get her back on her feet. I don't know what ever happened to that, I think she moved in with some guy, probably the same arrangement that another drug addicted friend was likely using to keep a roof over her head.
