[Serious]People with kind, supportive, 'good' family lives that still ended up in trouble/going down a bad path, what happened? What other factors in your life influenced your choices? If you have any siblings, how did they turn out?

TLDR: shity sister, me and brother just dandy.

Ok, so I actually have something to contribute this time.

So there are 5 people in my family; mom, dad, oldest sister, older brother and me, I'm the baby...

Anywho

My sister was like 10 years or so to older then me and my brother, and from a previous marriage from my mom. She had had all the chances to succeed. Two chances at college (both times wasted), parents bending over backwards, aways a safe place to sleep. Just to put it simply, she had everything and anything she could need to do what she ever wanted, not in a spoiled way but more in a supportive way, such as money for college, housing, food, etc...

About the time that she stared to get more and more independent she started to do some really weird crap, couple marriages, moveing all over the States, fake pregnancies (to get money), fake cancer (to get money). Then she moved back to town and lived with my parents till she got kick out for her very violent tendencies and with how much she stole, she was around maybe 25 at the time. So she moves around a bit more and causes some hate and general discontent between my family and our relitives that live in out same town. Which has put a strain on our whole family relationship type of thing, it's kinda weird now.

Things she has done that i remember.

Stolen several times from my family, from medicine to money.

This last marriage of hers she claimed that our parents didn't accept their love and wouldn't support them. She said things like this to the cousins. So my parents didn't know about the wedding till my grandma, called to tell my parents. My parents would have helped and done things for their wedding, but my "sis" is a lieing piece of shit.

Broken into my parents house 3 times and ransacked it looking for money and diabetes medicine, she has the D as do my parents, but it's cheaper to get free medicine.

She also has some step kids ( 2 of them, they are about 12 or so) or something that she lives with now. She will never call my parents anything but grandpa or granny. My parents don't like this at all because of the situation. Any way she thinks she is a "real mommy" and has a shity attribute about it, the kids suffer.

The kids only get attention when she profits from it... She dose needle drugs, illegal drugs and smokes weed, and cigars all around the kids that she "loves".

She hasn't had a job in years and lives basically in a crack house. At 35 she still expects my retired parents to Pat for everything, she is the worst person I know, she doesn't care about anyone or thing, she is worse then Hitler, cause even Hitler cared about Germany or something...

Also for the good part of this tale...

My brother is very successful full with his job, graduated college, and is about to have his second child, in a very stable, loving and responsible home. He is 27.

I am almost graduating college with a degree in programming. I am 26.

Me and my brother came out of my parents very weird, but I can honestly say that compared to the sister, we did very good.

Sorry for the wall of text and errors, I'm on mobile.

Thanks.
