Oh yes the family knows..we have tried everything....even the few times he has been taken into a mental health facility he has charmed his way out! Imagine! I don't know what to do............I don't think he is going to live much longer though..........his mind is about gone...his body is gonna follow....For the past year or so I have had dreams and an awful sense that he will kill himself.................maybe it's just the codie in me..I don't know.I would commit him long term if I could.......but saadly until he really wants help..it is all pointless..............HE used to be soo handsome..looked like a guy from one of the soap operas............tall, dark hair, charming....longer darker eyelashes than me! a real charmer..............but he is falling apart.and you know what is so sad? His story is so many others' story....
My kids are scared of him when he drinks and uses drugs........he is on probation for a DWI.has no remorse..........still drives drunk...and when I get a hold of the %^&%^%&* cop that let him drive home drunk....well..it's on.I am going to se that the newspapers write about it.....every media outlet I know, state reps..............letting them drive away is hurting THEM and OTHERS!! half the cops are alcoholic here thouhg.they just rearrested an officer for his SECOND DWI!!! You let peoplem get away with that.well I am sure you have seen the stats from deaths from drunk driving..........If I see my brother driving intoxicated thisa summer in the water truck....I am calling the cops......and I am going to wait where I can see that they don't let him drive off..........he is definitely going to kill himself or someone else............
last year I was real sick and in the ER.he drives his water truck to the hospital.drunker an cooter brown...somehow parks it between some cars...comes inside.....gets to my room.stands ther with his hands on my head asking the /spirits. to heal me!! chanting some weird crap!! I wanted to crawl through the floor. His gf got him to leave....he needs help badly..but he doesn't want it........even the cops let it slide....he charms his way through mental health hospital stays......
I don'y know.I am very sad just writing this.I have been stuffing it..I am a recovering addict so I have great sympathy for him..but I cannot just stand by while he endangers himself and OTHERS!
Thanks for the kind words............(((((((((Huge HUgs))))))))
