In my experience, when I stopped providing resources to my sister to help her out of whatever predicament she was in (bailing her out of jail so she could work on recovery, getting her car out of impound so that she could go to/get a job, making sure she didn't lose her car to payday loans so that she could still go to work, helping her with rent so she wasn't homeless, etc.) she stopped calling me. When I was no longer providing the resources she was seeking, she wasn't all that interested in talking to me about my day, or life in general, or whatever. It basically feels like the only reason she was calling was for money, and the "I care about your life and how you're doing" part was all just a front so that I would be available to give her money. It's now to the point of her only calling me at all when she needs something - usually money - but she has even stopped that somewhat recently because I told her that I loved her very much but I could no longer give her any money.

My case may be different because I am the only person left in our family with the resources that would even make a dent in what must be a fairly serious heroin problem at this point. My mom will give my sister everything she has left to her name, but at this point that's not very much.

Don't get me wrong, my sister wasn't always like this - this is just who she is right now. I hope one day I will get to know her in healthy recovery, I'm not sure how far off something like that might be. I like to think that each day could be the day that she decides she is done.
