How do you deal with always in trouble family members. My sister is just...a mess. She lives too hard away for me to help and frankly, I don't want to get caught in her shit. She had her kids taken away and no one really knows why and she can't get them back until she is done doing parenting classes. Her kids keep messaging me (on FB) saying how much they want to go home but there is nothing I can do. She is supposed to get her kids back near end of November but no idea if that is true. Hard to trust her.

Well, if there's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can do. Help make her life easier if you can but don't expect her to change.

This is going to sound harsh, but... you don't. They can't rely on you to bail them out if they're grown adults, they need to get their shit together on their own or else they'll never learn if everyone else just keeps bailing them out.

Honestly, this is the kind of thing that you can't do much about. Your sister has clearly fucked up in some way, and it doesn't sound like you're close enough for her to confide in you, nor can you offer advice without knowing her situation. The most you can do is try to support your nieces/nephews as best as you can. Don't offer false promises, but try to be a good listener.

I don't think there is anything you can do to deal with your sister, since if she won't tell anyone what's going on, no one can figure out how to help (even if you didn't live too far away, you wouldn't be able to help a person like that). Hopefully, no one is making you feel like she is your responsibility.

I second being a good listener for her kids.
