[QUOTE="nlj, post: 651639, member: 17650"] That must have been very, very hard, and even more so if he was aware that other members of his family were achieving and he was 'different'. He doesn't sound like the sort of person who gets angry about things, so I suppose the bottling-up, if he did that, had to burst out somewhere. That's so sad. Was the Occupy phase because he believed in it, or because he wanted to find a group, who didn't know anything about him, where he could fit in? Of course, sometimes a person may not know much about a cause, but can become enthused and on-board when more is known, once they are part of it. (That's been happening to me recently!). The Occupy group had a high opinion of him didn't they? Or were accepting of him as he was. I wonder what alternative qualities he has been hiding from you. I don't have any experience of drugs in my family, other than cannabis (I'll be shot down saying that now), so I don't have anything knowledgable to say. It's a shame that he seems to have used drugs as a way of not dealing with everything else though. Maybe that has to be the first thing to stop, no idea how, and then rip everything up and completely rewrite the book of your relationship with him. That's not helpful is it. I feel exhausted at the thought if it. Is it worth the effort? For me it would be. [/QUOTE]
