i completey understand the frustration that i hear. Its hard to sit there and watch someone completely destroy everything around them. unfortuantely a lot of it has to do with the addiction. I can only imagine how it feels to hear your dad cry. He has to know that he didnt do this. he cant blame himself and neither can you. your brother made the choice to do drugs but as what im told by my bf heroin is prolly the easiest to get addicted to. my bf was addicted the first time he stuck that needle in his arm. I'm sure it hurts your dad to have thrown him out but sometimes you have to put your foot down, not enable & not act like everything is ok. if he's out on the street, he's learning to survive. i have faith that he'll be ok . i also pray that he will want to get help. you nor anyone in your family can "fix" this. trust me if we could we'd do it without any question. he has to want it & he has to take the right steps. You & your family should look into support groups in your area. I have been to AA meetings with my bf but I have not yet gone to any Naranon or Alanon meetings but I believe that they may help. Coming here has also helped me a great deal. I hate to see others go through this. it really is the hardest part about love, is loving an addict. I wish you luck. feel free to PM me anytime if you'd like. I'll be praying for you & your family. |
