Vickie- this is such a complex situation for all involved, especially while dealing with the loss of your brother. My story with my son goes back almost 10 years. My meeting with him was after us not speaking for almost 5 months. It was a moment to tell him how I feel because I usually don’t for fear of him relapsing which is not fair to me. The nature of addiction makes it all about them. I’ve been dealing with his situation for so long really by myself and it takes a tremendous toll. You see that when you read these posts. You said that you have children, and that you know it’s heartbreaking for us moms, but not as heartbreaking as what the addict is going through. I’m confused…
