court
 
i can not bring myself to ask mr. hope what happened in court. when i work to 7:30 we always go out to eat,just a burger or something. we went out & we r home. i have talked about everything but court. i know it is not good because he would have told me if it was. i am living in denial right now.as long as i really don't know,i don't know. i do see where there was 2 state calls on the caller i.d. when it comes out i will let you know but i can not ask, i just can't, not tonite. thank you for all of your support here & all of your prayers. i still need them both, your prayers & support,please & thank you.

The antidote to fear is courage.
"Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow." ~Mary Anne Radmacher

You take your time and settle your mind.
I am saying a rosary for you and your family right now...
Peace,
B.

Sounds to me like you "turned it over", Hope, and that's a good place to put all the negative thoughts.

We get to deal with "stuff" when we are ready. That's not denial, that's preserving our sanity and getting to enjoy our lives without letting our life be dependent on how our addicts are doing.

You all are in my prayers. The rest is between your son and God.

Hugs :hug:

Knowing outcome of court...
 
Hi Hope,

I have a song by Toby Keith...part of the lyrics are: "I wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then"...it took me a minute to digest it but it is so true when things are happening out of our control.

I did know my brother was a drinker out of control but I did not know that he was using methametaphine also. His best friend rescued him out of our family home...threw him over his shoulder and put him in the truck and drove him across state where he lives. He has been sober ten years and has been helping my brother detox.

I hadn't heard from my brother for three years...thought he might have been dead...was renting bedrooms to other drug users...trashed and cluttered the whole house from top to bottom...back to front.

I just got back yesterday...was gone six days cleaning the house out and having a yard sale...got a 30 yard dumpster to put everything in but what my brother wanted. I already had what I wanted from three years ago.

I also have a buyer for the house and my brother did finally agree to the deal and will sign the paper work. A woman wanted to buy it for $75,000 as is & will do the refurbishing herself...my lawyer agreed with her contract so I will be paid $800 a month for three years with my brother getting his share...he owes me 1/2 of the thousands of dollars I have spent but the money is the least of my worries.

You have to know that a house that the police come to wanting to arrest my contractor cleaning out the house...and then the FBI wanting to talk with someone that had been renting a bedroom are involved it isn't a good scene.
Some of his druggie friends came around saying they were going to have me arrested for throwing out my brothers things....I told them if anyone got arrested...it would be them for harassing me who was half owner of the house. :skillet :wtf2

I am still in shock of the whole thing and am glad to be back in my own safety net. :codiepolice

kelsh

I got to see my brother and talk with him. He was very emotional and cried a lot...saying he was sorry for all that happened.
