reader, anonymous, writes (12 December 2010): Hey Im dealing with the same trouble in my house hold. Except, My mother is an only parent. And my brother and I have different dads. However, as sad as it may seem, you cant help someone that doesnt want to be helped. You can try as much as possible, but in the end its really up to him.
If your parents are aware of what is going on then you should help them in investing in the idea of a Daytop out patient or inpatient considering his condition.
However, my brother has been caught with destribution, voilating probation, using, and moree. he was sent into both in patient and out patient. he has been in the shelter and JDC for 14, he came home a few weeks ago and he is back to the same stuff..or what i know of.
I deal with by just staying out of it. I dont wanna know or hear about any of it, howver its hard for my mom cause im the only one she can honestly talk to about it.
My brother is 15..he started going into inpatient at the age 13. Your brother seems to be going down somewhat of the same path as my brother cause thats how it started.
best of with you, honestly its a rough road to go down even just being a by-stander. I hope he straightens out and figures out who is real friends are and who and what are really important to him.
hopefully youll never have to experience the things i have within the past couple years.
