[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 724280, member: 19290"] Hi. I’m glad you found this forum. You have given so much and had even more taken from you. You are a caring daughter and sister. You also seem to be wise to the disease. Understanding that most of it is manipulation, is so much of the battle. But so is stepping away, so you can no longer be on his list of reasons why he still justifies using. You will always love him and wish him better. But he has to get better to be a brother to you. Also, it would be helpful to discuss these things with a professional, if you don’t already. I was in your exact shoes in my teens, with my brother, and I did not get therapy about it, until I had teens of my own. I didn’t realize how much those years informed aspects of my life. I should have worked through the issues, as I was experiencing them. [/QUOTE]
