This happened a few months ago but I never said anything about it. My brother has always been a real..how do i say it....IMMATURE LOSER. He got in tons of trouble his whole life. He was taken out of my parents custody when he was 16 bc he kept getting in trouble with the cops and had to go to a place called Mountain View for over 1 year. So basically i grew up in a messed up house hold. Cops were always at my house, brother and parents fighting like crazy(sometimes physical), He choked my sister and I had to call the cops on him bc my parents wouldn't, he choked me one time and i stabbed him with a pencil to try to get away (he wanted to use the phone thats why he did that) He attacked my sister and slammed her head into the dishwasher and i had to jump on his back and hit him. My dad was an alcoholic so i am sure it has something to do with his behavior. But ANYWAYS there is tons more I could say but I doubt you all want to read more but he recently got stabbed in the knee by a 52 yr. old man ..he had to get 12 stitches(he is 21, doesn't have a job, hates the gov. and is about to have a baby, Lord help him!)
I had a pic but now i can't find it, oopsy. Sorry this is boring.
Jennifer, I am so sorry honey that you have been thru some really difficult situations in your young life... Unfortunately most every family has one member who seems to creat 90% of the family's problems.. In my family it is also my brother. Been in and out of trouble for many years.. and he has an alcohol and drug problem as well. I found out a long time ago after a lot of heartache that I couldn't "fix" his problems, nor would I take responsibility for him. I love him, but it has to be tough love...My poor Mom is 76 years old, lost my dad only 4 months ago, and still has to worry about her only son!!! It's the pits... So sweetie, just move on with your life, be happy, and know that you can still love your brother and not have to like who he is or what he does...You and your family are in my prayers and you can cry on my shoulder any time you need to. My email address is listed in the contacts section... Deb

Thats really sweet, thanks. And sorry about your brother. My brother is such a nice person, he is one of my best friends and we are really close, he tells me he loves me everyday. I used to be so worried all the time and sad bc he just won't listen to me. He has 2 warrants out and I just want him to be at my wedding bc he is Evans best man and I want him to be ther for his unborn son, Conner. I hate to say it but i honestly don't think he will be a good dad. He can hardly take care of himself. I wouldn't say he has a drug PROBLEM but he does smoke pot & does other drugs every once and a while and he drinks too. That is really sad your mom has to worry all the time, can't they see the people they are hurting! Nope bc they are so caught up with themselves. Oh dear.
Yea, Deb is right... there is always one black sheep!!!! I will keep you in my prayers and hope that God will touch his life. Stay strong and know that we are always here for ya!!! Venting helps to put things into perspective sometimes and knowing that there are others that have experienced similar type issues is always helpful.
Many blessings and prayers are coming your way sweetie!
