Coping with addiction?

I have been raising my sisters kids since both were born. I am young and this is not how I pictured my life but I wouldn’t trade my babies for the world. My sister has no interest in being a mom except when it makes her look good. She’s still in active addiction shows up maybe once a month for what’s suppose to be a 2 day visit then stays for a week. I fuckin hate it. I have grown a true hatred for her. The damage she is doing to the kids. The anger she fills me with. I know this next sentence makes me a horrible person but I wake up every day hoping she ODed so we can have some normalcy to our lives. I refuse to fight with her whiles she’s her so I let mom supervise visitation and I either stay in my room or stay gone while she’s here which is wrong I know but I don’t want the kids around the fighting and I miss them terribly when she’s here. I can’t say or do anything with out her popping off “this is temporary” well my idea of temporary ain’t 3 damn years. Is anyone else raising kids of a sibling or have experience with addiction ? I am desperately looking for advice

For one you are amazing for being able to take care of that child because it is hard for someone who is fighting addiction to care for a child and themselves. I know many people in this situation Maybe your sister needs to go get help and you take temp custody of the child but if she doesn’t wanna get help you could be stuck in that situation for a while. If you wanna take more let me know.
