Honeypie agony auntYou can't fix this for him. I know that you want to. But there is no magic fix to "curing" an addict.

You have told him to seek help, he isn't ready. And until HE hits rock bottom, he might never be ready.

As for his soon-to-be-pregnant-ex-wife, it's really not her fault that he has chosen drugs again. Drug addicts are drawn to each other, no matter how miserable they make each other, because they SHARE the need for drugs.

Personally, I'd step away, and try and get my brother to do that same. The guy might be a good guy deep down, but he has chosen drugs for now. He knows his life is messed up, and he dulls that knowledge with drugs.

I feel bad for that baby. It's going to have a rough start in life.
