[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 88180"] Mikey, I rarely post in this area. I was also that little girl. It hurt my heart watching my brother in so much pain. Seeing my dad so angry. I was afraid for my brother. not fear of drugs or death, fear of my father. i didn't know where the drugs would head him, and frankly I didn't care. I wanted my brother back. If my dad wasn't mad at him and yelling all the time things were ok. I know how you love him sooo very much. And your head is telling you one thing, and your heart is telling you another. I am so sorry. You are living my scariest nightmares. I pray so much for you and Mcweedy. As hard as it is, would calling the police on him when he has drugs be worse than a possible OD? What kind of message has been sent to Dancer over the past couple years? "Dad doesn't really mean what he says" My easy child will be 25 in January. Became pretty heavy drinker in college. (fraternity) Never graduated. Found out that college will not allow you to attend if you don't. They don't want you. They have many others who are willing to make the effort. He was kicked out for a summer and a semester. Never to return. I kept waiting for him to grow up. Get his priorities in order. Only now does he realize his friends are either working on Master's or graduated, working at well paying companies. He NOW wants to move back home, quit his job and go back to school. I don't want him to quit his job, but it took him this many years to find out on his own what he needs to do. There was no way I could talk, nag, yell to make him see this. I wish you the best. Be strong. This is your son. don't ever give up. [/QUOTE]
