It is a very hard thing to do...You have to learn how to let you child be a man or woman and fall on their own...Parents are so use to taking care of their children and making things better for them. So, when they make horrible decisions...we try to fix them...When you see them keep making the same mistake over and over...Everything you do is not helping....You learn to step back...Some parents never surrender...I see that often...I had a HUGE problem with it...But you just have too. I just surrendered to the Good Lord above and told him to take care of it...I just didn't have it in me anymore!
From that day forward...The Blessing of God fell upon my family...My son went to rehab and started the recovery process. Through God all things are possible.
This site has been God Sent...I think your mom would benifit by getting on here and reading and educating herself about your brothers problem.
I will be praying for you and your family,
God Bless,
