is my mother stupid!?
September 5th, 2010My brother is the worst sort of person. He is a pill popper and a heroin addict who does it in the worst way. He has periodically gotten tickets for stupid stuff including marijuana and stealing scrap metal from a construction site. Now my mother has tried to help him understandably, but he left to go to my fathers house without saying anything which hurt my little sister and mother very much. B/c he is family! The last two times he has visited b/c my fathers does try and a teach the 25 y/o responsibility which he hates because of his vices’. The first time he disappeared for like a day or two and took my little sister to the store and came back in three hours. When questioned to where they went they said to the store. But my sister later admitted to going to a place where she had never been in the city and we believe to buy the junk. The second time he visited he not only disappeared, but during the week took my mothers car in the middle of the night to buy. He also hurt my mother trying to take the keys to do it again and she had to call me from work to stop the punk! I obviously don’t like him now ! But now she permanently wants to bring him back to try and sort him out. My mother had to buy me a safe my b-day and had to previously had to buy door locks to protect the homes valuables! Well, sorry about the grammar and I love my mother b/c she has helpped out the family and I do my best to help out too. I just don’t think he is very good to have around for n e 1. I’m not trying to be the person to stop helping him. I just want to enable him to keep using and abusing those who try and love him.
You areso smart and so right. Actually yor mom knows but se is so hoping he will stop. but not without tough love. tell him either he gets in rehab or he can not come around. lOCK ALL WINDOWS AND IF HE EVEN DARES STEAL OR COM RUSHING IN CALL AND GET HIM LOCKED UP. hE WILL KILL EVENTUALLY FOR THE DRUGS THOSE ARE SERIOUS AND HE NEDS HELP NOW AND NOT YOUR MOM TRYING AS IT WILL NOT WOK.
He needs an intervention, PERIOD. He’s not safe for anyone. As much as your mother wants to help, you’re right, she’s only enabling him. If he doesn’t go to a facility soon to recover, he may not live much longer. Heroine is very addictive, and even when people get clean, they relapse. Express this to your mother. She needs to cut ties or get him help, bottom line.
