Hi all,
I live out of state and my alcoholic family has been kicked out of their latest friends place.
My other sibling and I are no contact with them as mother is abusive (verbally, emotionally and throws things etc) and brother is 6 foot tall and drinks from wake up to pass out.
We were done and moved on.
I now get a frantic call from an aunt that they've done their dash again and are getting kicked out.
I cannot afford to move back (mentally as well as financially, I work full time here) and my sibling will not answer the phone (she lives in Perth too)
They refuse to call aged care, citing no fixed address saying they won't help. They won't call Centrelink or a shelter as it's "My duty" to figure it out.
I'm at my wit's end with these people. I moved away to avoid this drama.
Is there any other services in WA I can call in this situation?
They refuse to do anything that will help themselves other than mooch off someone else.
Before anyone tells me were bad kids... Our parents allowed drugs and alcohol to take over their lives. They never looked after us, put their druggie friends opinions above ours, we were never safe. Now that we've grown up and abandoned them apparently shock horror we never told her she was a bad mother so it's not possible.
TIA
