So I’ll try to make an extremely LONG story as short as I can...

I have a much older (7 years) 1/2 sibling, that lived with us 100% and had absolutely NOTHING to do with his dad as he relinquished all custody of him when he was an infant. His dad was a severe drug addict who later died due to complications from his IV drug use. My brother visited him once as a teenager and had no other connections to him.

My brother went on to follow a very similar path of his dad despite all the help and support my family gave him. Multiple rehab stays, supporting him 100% financially, finding sober livings for him, mental health, you name it. He’s now almost 40. A year ago this may, my brother was the victim of an extremely random and brutal assault that we were told he would never survive from. As his family, despite our issues with his lying, stealing, physical and mental abuse to us, we dropped everything to care for him during this time. Approximately 6 months into his recovery and having had been COMPLETELY clean, my brother decided f it and chose meth, stealing again and being homeless. Despite having a 100% paid for nursing facility to be in that took him to all his physical therapy, mental health, and drug appointments. During that time I became pregnant with our 3rd was told I had complete placenta previa and was put on complete pelvic rest up until this week. My mom was also diagnosed with cancer and only given a few months to live. She only just finished an aggressive chemo and 6 weeks radiation after having 2 extremely invasive back to back surgeries to remove the tumor in her throat and her lymph nodes where the cancer had spread to. My mom coded after her 2nd surgery and my brother during this time had the nerve to call her just hours after my mom was code blue, revived, and had her ribs broken during CPR to blame her inconvenience of the surgery on his urge to go do meth and demand money from her.

My brother has a much younger 1/2 sister. About 11 years younger than me, so she’s 18 years younger than my brother. She’s in the very beginnings of leading the life of my brother. Messages and calls me all hours of the night to bitch me out. Telling me what a piece of sh*t I am for abandoning my brother. She’s usually drunk or high when she’s doing this and always demanding that I put her in contact with my brother. How she’s his sister, he needs her, and that she has every right to be in his life. Mind you, my brother met her 1 time when he visited in Georgia (we live in Ca) when she was 6 years old. They’ve never seen each other outside of that 1 visit nor have they spoken. Needless to say, I’m pregnant, have 2 kids, work full time, and am caring for my mom while she’s finishing chemo and radiation. I don’t have time for this. So I blocked her on social media and her phone number. I couldn’t take being contacted repeatedly until I answered my phone at 1-3am.

Well, here I am 37 weeks and 2 days and she’s created a new account and has reached out again. Claiming she’s sober. Yet, her message came to me at 10:52pm my time which makes its 1:52am HER time on a Wednesday morning. She doesn’t look sober in any of her photos. She claims she went to rehab, yet she’s been posting every day. How do I respond without completely losing my shit on a 19/20 year old who just doesn’t get it. I don’t have time for this crap. I’m way too hormonal and pregnant.
