My sister is a succesful, educated, chruch going woman with a well paying job but shes engaged to a thug who sells drugs for a living. The thing is we are from the hood but we both moved away in our late teens and I dont why she still has that mentality. She met him in our old neighborhood and they apparently kept in touch and they've known each other for almost a decade now. I mean my sister is a smart and moral woman who otherwise has good common sense. Shes also not that young anymore either, shes 30 and hes 29 and they are like Bonnie and Clyde I mean this man is a street heavy thug and dope pusher in D.C and she is totally down with him basically making herself a criminal too but in her mind its okay. I admit other than him being a drug dealer hes cool. He doesnt abuse her or anything and I like his family (his mother is a preacher) and he is a pretty laid back and down to earth person but im afraid his thuglife lifestyle is going to hurt them. He was just recently ambushed and shot at (my sister wasnt in the car) and he shot back but ended up in a car crash that left him temporarily disabled. My sister took good care of him and im glad hes back to good health now but I still worry about them. I admit though, unlike his brothers who are in prison, this guy pretty much is a smart cirminal and he pretty much stays out of jail and seems to make decent money on the streets. Although I can tell he knows better I guess he feels stuck in the life and he accepts being a 'Gangsta'. But I digress.
What do you think about this situation, what can I do if anything toget her to leave him or should I just accept the fact that she chose him even though I worry about her?
