My brother has a drinking problem, he is 33 yrs old…He went to rehab for 35 days (court ordered)…He came home 3 weeks ago and started drinking again (that night). He is now in a hospital since he tried to take his own life the other day, which I have no sympathy for since it’s all for attention… Drinking issue affects everyone…That is what some people don’t realize…This has been going on for 15 years in my life..I’m the youngest and boy was it a tough life with him…My parents want the best for him but how some parents react is to hide and baby their kids…He is 33 but when he needs something he is 12 again…My brother lost his family…3 beautiful kids and his wife and he is only an inch a way from losing me…I have his kids pretty much every weekend and love them with all my heart…their mom is really the same as my brother with drinking except she isn’t violent but she is not a good role model at all… but according to social services she is great..I refuse to mess with the system cause I couldn’t bear it to backfire and me to never see the kids or even not see them for 2 weeks…My problem is I get angry and fight with my parents over him all the time..I get pissed at the mention of his name..even though I do care I refuse to admit it to them..:example: I live 45min from my family because of my brother… I just called my mom for something totally unrelated to my brother and within 3 seconds of “Hello” she was telling me about my brother…(same story over and over again) I cut it off and say “I can’t do this, I don’t care”..she gets upset and says…I’ll talk to you later…I’m at a loss how to handle myself…IDEAS???
