After I broke up with my mistress, there was an uncomfortable period where I was still living in the same house. She was the sort of person who believed in the healing power of make-up sex, and when I refused to put her collar back on again (long stupid melodrama that has no place in this story) she still would occasionally wind up at my door late at night wanting a quickie. Unfortunately part of why I had been wearing her collar in the first place was because I had difficulty saying no to her, and while I managed to remain resolute about not returning to the same disfunctional dynamic, I still wound up going to bed with her a few times before I could arrange for other quarters. I think that it is an easy pattern to fall into, especially if sexual chemistry was the primary basis for the relationship. After you've been away from someone for a few months, your brain resets itself and you are once again capable of recieving that wonderful endorphine buzz that makes so many people crazy in love. It's an addictive high, and can be very hard to resist. So far as I know, chocolate is one of the few things you can take that helps to simulate this buzz, and is to be highly recommended as part of a larger program to remove such people from our lives. Unfortunately, if the addictive substance (or person) is itself in frequent proximity, backsliding becomes much more likely as temptation presents itself. All you can do is try to be supportive of your sister, and try to encourage her to stay away from things she knows are bad for her. It's really hard to resist our personal demons, but it can be done.
