My brother got 15 weekends in jail.He lives 45mins form me and on fridays he wants me to take him and really I dont want to.I feel bad because he has to be there and his wife sometimes has to work on friday nights. They make me feel bad because they alway need something and I and Im the only one who sticks to her word.

So my sister in law wants to come and stay the weekend with me, I dont want her to. I dont trust her and Im starting to think thay are blowing smoke up my ass with they are not useing crap. On friday last weel I picked up my brother in a town 30mins from me and when I looked at his arms to me they looked pretty bad. I told my mom and she picked him up from jail to come to my house to meet his wife and he told me that the marks on his arms will never go away. I have never seem the marks befor.It is causing problems with my husdband and myself.

Do I tell them that I just cant let them stay or give him rides back and forth any more? I love my brother but I feel for the last 5 yrs I have done enough I need to know how to do it with out been cold and making him mad at me.

thanks tink0314

Hey Tink!

You gotta do what is right for you. When you give them rides and a place to stay when they are using.. that is enabling and supporting the addiction.

Tell your brother this: I love you very much, but It breaks my heart watching you kill yourself. I will support you in sobriety, but I will not support your addiction

thank you thats what I have started do. It was very hard to do it but thats what I did. I really hope that he gets better by pulling a way from him. He needs to do stuff for himself and not have me do it for him he has a wife that can help him and the can pull the crap on each other.It has been a very long road I have been down and I cant do it any more. I have not taled to him since thursday and it kind of bothers me but he has to see.

Thanks soo much for your help

holly
