[QUOTE="totoro, post: 228356, member: 3155"] You know reading your posts makes me think of my older Brother. He went away to rehab for drugs, I know one was OXY, his work sent him there. They enabled him... because he got out, he still drinks he is still a mess. But they let him stay because he opened the restaurant, because he is the General Manager and the Executive Chef. They keep him on and let him act crazy, sleeping with tons of the women, fighting, drinking all of the time, multiple arrests over hi ex. Because he has kids, because his ex is crazier than him... because he can convince everyone that he innocent! Also when he is high or drunk, he is SO funny. Everyone around enables him... even my Father, out of guilt, for abandoning us, for being in prison, for being a drug addict and alcoholic himself. Even the women enable him. So everyone feels sorry for him. Why??? He doesn't even admit he has Mental Illness! He has been diagnosis'd with a Personality Disorder. Who knows what else. Because he is *good looking* (blech!), funny, smart and talented, people let him get away with these things. After reading so many of these older kid posts and yours especially, it has really made me realize a few things. He should be left out in the cold and made to deal with this carp on his own! Why do people like him always get away with so much? He should have spent so much more times in jail. It isn't because he has money, he is looking at losing his house. One thing I have really realized is that some of our kids and people who have mental illness or addictions, do benefit from our help. I have read so many stories about people who did get better when you surround them with love and support. But others, only pull and push away more. Like my brother. He will take and then still F' it up. He will never learn as long as people help him. What you are doing is so admirable and so hard. I was thinking about my own pathetic youth last night, I honestly do not think I would have benefitted from the support of family or the pushing or help from them. I needed to fall as well. I am sure if my Mom were alive it would have ripped her heart out to see or here the stories as well. I hope I can be as strong as you if I ever have to face this struggle. [/QUOTE]
