You can't fix some ppl brother. Besides,,you have to protect your home and family. You can never trust what these ppl will do when your back is turned.
Sadly true. One tried to commit suicide while staying with us, and two of them stole stuff, aside from all the BS and drama.You can't fix some ppl brother. Besides,,you have to protect your home and family. You can never trust what these ppl will do when your back is turned.
Sometimes support becomes enabling and it's better to let them find their bottom.My brother has sofa surfed with us several times in the past, and the last time was right when my baby ended up in the hospital with congestive heart failure. The stress was too much for her. Then when I came home to pick up clean clothes and found all of the empty vodka bottles in the trash can - he had to go.
On a good note, he successfully completed alcohol rehab and is staying at the motel again. He is also working on getting back into an assisted living home again. We love my brother, but we can't fix him. He has to do it for himself. We can support and encourage him, which we do, and we are truly hoping that he stays sober this time around.
