A sad story

i guess this is like my online diary, i love that people are really reading what i post and responding i wanted to first thank everyone for their feedback and all your comments weather they are positive or the harsh truth. i really appreciate everyone who took the time to just comment and post their thoughts and advice thank you.

on that note i want to tell you guys a very sad story that happened to me. I was kicked out of my house when i was 19 for selling drugs and often was caught up in reckless childish shenanigans. My older brother who had just got out of college had been doing the same but on a more advanced and serious level. He started abusing pills and other methods of getting high like air dusters. This really broke my heart when i saw what drugs had done to him. At this time i was renting a single room. The only time i saw him this whole summer was basically when i was selling him weed. Every time him and his friends would come by he would look worse and worse. Im a pretty un aware person i guess or maybe i didnt want to accept the fact this was the path he chose. i ignored it he was old enough to make his own choices and hell be fine. well i was wrong. and now i regret not stepping in.

My mother had called him while he was playing golf and im guessing she was asking him questions about his life and he preceived my mothers questions as heckling and made the choice to devise a plan. Drunk and high on pain killers he would drive from the golf course to kmart to buy a baseball bat and then show up at my moms house. (i was kicked out at this point in time and not home.) My brother shows up and just starts trashing the place and in his pockets where pills, a lot of pills. My mom became hysterical calling for help and called the police. They argued until my youngest brother came out of his room and tackled him. At this point xanax covered the floor like it had snowed pain killers. they fist fought untill the police arived and i had showed up around this point to. To watch my brother be arrested was a very sad sad day.

How is everything now, are you getting help, you mention a younger brother, try and make some changes in case he looks up to you

Damn thats a heartbreaking story... how is everything now? How is your brother, you , your mom ? 😔

So sorry that your family has had to encounter that situation and you yourself are going through some things, I really hope you and your brother receive the help that is needed. As a mother, I do not know what I would do if all my sons were hurting like this.. Glad that you seek a solace by speaking on here,you are brave. Slowly, I will gain the courage to do the same. Thank you for sharing and hope it gets better.

That is indeed a sad story.

How are your brothers and your mum doing now?

Keep posting and working through this stuff Jolivz x
