My(f26) parents have shown over the last 3+ years they are unfit to care for my siblings. Out of four kids, 3 moved out before 18 but the situation is now more dire. My sister (15) has denied our suggestion to move in with me and my husband due to guilt in leaving my parents to their addictions. But she finally came to us and said she does not feel safe.
Over the last year, my dad had a stroke due to withdrawal in his search for sobriety. He had severe jaundice and liver problems, I had to be the one to finally forced him to a doctor. He went to rehab and made it 90 days but relapsed because my narcissistic mother wouldn't stop drinking/gambling and dragging him along. He up and quit his job a month ago and I know they are behind on thier mortgage. Within the last 3 years, both parent have had at least one DUI and assault record for another sibling living at home
Their house is trashed, they have dog feces and piss from over a year ago still on the basement floor. The flooring has been torn up countless times that they now just have subfloor, also covered in said materials.
Over the weekend- my sister and them got into an argument where my dad threatened to "lay hands" on her while they both laughed in her face. Mind you my mom has assault charges on my brother(20) from March. I once caught my dad with two black eyes after he antagonized the same brother. Violence is prominent in both parents now.
I want to petition for any type of guardianship but I don't want to make a big deal about it. Years ago my dad told me to "lawyer up" if i wanted to fight them, but then said "well, ask your mom". They go between saying the most vile stuff while drunk, then apologizing days later.
My sister admitted to me today that last night she snuck drinks from my dad's smirnoff bottle in front of him and got so drunk she had thrown up 4 times, busted her lip, had scratches all over and slept on her floor.
I left a voicemail with an attorney, but am hesitant to call CPS cause I live in very small 2 bedroom already and don't have a place for her yet. I wanted to approach my parents with an ultimatum, go easy with prepared documents or prove change. I haven't heard back from the attorney and am lost. I couldn't help my brother but i want to help my sister. What do I need to do?
