Hi Spinzle, keep strong and reassure your mum she did nothing wrong with your brother, you are the evidence for this. I hope your brother leaves the abusive relationship he is in and changes his ways for the kind good people in his life.
Hi Supporter, your experience is very similar to my parents when they tried to cope with my brother. Deb is right, there is little you can do until your son admits he has a problem and more importantly wants to change. 20 years ago, pre internet, drugs weren’t really talked about, I think my brother was the only person I knew who had a problem, it’s good that sites like this exist for people to share their stories and ask for support. Good luck with your son x
Hi Mandy your post struck a chord with me, I am so sorry for what’s happened to your Mum. My brother doesn’t have children I had always thought that maybe if he had,things would have been different….if he’d had someone depending on him he would have woken up to what a waste he was making of his life sooner. Your brother does seem to acknowledge what he is doing,I hope this is the beginning of a change for him. I’ve heard it said that you have to be at your lowest point before desiring the change,in the meantime I send healing thoughts to you and your family
