My brother who is 54 is a recovering crack addict told me recently that no one can help you until you want to help yourself. My late mother continued until her last days bailing my brother out of one jam after another. The who time we all tried to help her understand that she was actually helping my brothers addiction problem to continue. I pray that all of you get through this trial and he comprehends the pain & anguish that he is bestowing on you. |
It is so tough for all going through this. He works for his father, my X, so I do know that he is doing alright, working every day. I feel his doesn't call because he is ashamed, I don't know. He is in denial, says it was not his and will fight it in court. I know that there is nothing I can do but love him.
Sorry for what your family has gone through also.
Thanks for your thoughts.
