Not visiting brother at Christmas
I have decided to not visit my brother in jail during Christmas when I make my 9 hr. drive home. Last year at Christmas he was in jail for a different charge & I was the only person to go visit him. He had been doing those bath salts prior to that visit & was a total mess both mentally & physically. I wanted to show him I cared & that is why I went but this year I see thing differently. He shows no indication of wanting recovery so I feel like I would just be setting myself up for more lies & manipulation.
Is it cruel of me to drive so far & not take the time to see him? Does he need my support now, I mean, would I be doing him any benefit by going?
