My Brother

He's been a real pain in the arse. He is a cronic drain on the family. He is homeless so my mom's been letting him sleep at her house "trailer" whatever. He ask her for 20 to get food smokes exc. She has been ill still recovering from the cancer surgery. She gave him her ATM card told him she was too sick to drive him to the store. He made 6 withdraws and used the card to buy gas "he has no car" there was $30.00 in gas charged to her card. He overdrew her card by - 241.50 she already had little less then 200 in the bank. So he spent like 450.00. SHE DID call the cops on him they said it was not theift if she gave him the card and the pin her bank said the same. She kicked him out. She called crying to me all day yesterday. He thinks she is wrong as it is no one knows where he's even at. HE TOLD HER HE BLACKED OUT. Frankly I don't wanna hear from him till he gets his chit together. She has no clue how to pay that back to the bank.I know he can't come here i told him when he 1st got homeless i'ld give him a tent and a sleeping bag. I UNDERSTAND THE ADDICTION as long as he's using he can stay the heck away from me and my kids.
Zg....totally agree with ya...and feel bad for ya ma....sounds like the obvious happened ..a credit card...given to an addict....the midas touch..bingo...a sick junkies dream come true and he went and f***ed yer ma over with his addiction not caring bout the end game....to be honest when i was an active addict i did something like that...my ma was saving a few bucks every week so she could pay her golf fees ...her only indulgence......but i knew how to fiddle the lock of her cheapo money box....so i busted it and had a nice stoned week on my mums hard earned cash....did i give a toss...nah but lookin back and seeing my ma and her realising how low her son could go really hurt my heroin insulated brain.She forgave me...but after that i told her not to trust me with anything...coz she loved me and trusted me too much....a mothers love i suppose...i had to make her realise it was the drugs talking not her healthy bright boy....which she understood eventually....but thank god she doesnt know the half of what i got up to...it wouldve killed her ...after losing one son already to drugs.....its just such a s*** life on smack and we affect more than ourselves.Take care all.........Davey
Hey Girl, That s*cks big time..........your poor mom........I'm sorry she's going through all that..........like she ain't got enough pain, right?

ZG I know you love your lil brother immensely............like ya said we understand the addiction............still it don't make it any less horrific how he racked up the card and treats your mom like that.

It's 100% understandable you won't let him come to your house and no he ain't needing to be around the kids............he gotta help himself..........he knows how much you worry and care about him..........now he gotta do something about this..........again, sorry ZG..........I know it's hurting you.
Davey i've stole from my grandmother but, it was always needles no cash. I just lied to get cash from her.
Bryn I do love that kid.
I heard from him yesterday he had no where to go he went into a pshy hospital. I told him Mom and I understand what he did but, he has to get help. HE SAID i'm not quttting drugs if that's what you guys think. He still swears he blacked out and he was smoking crack he did not know he took that much money "i do not belive him at all". I know he knew. He wanted me to come visit and bring him food. That was a no GO i told him he needs to get his head sorted.
He of course told me "you would have done the same thing". YEAH i've stole from ATM cards but, i don't do it now!. He is so hard to talk to he always has the crap i did to toss back at me. I just told him YES I WOULD HAVE AND HAVE i don't now because it's wrong and immature.
He at this point dose not want help. Till he dose he's on his own with his mess.
THis breaks my heart ZG................man he's so young and a nice looking guy and obviously a very kind hearted guy.............and then heroin.

That had to be tough on ya, ZG.........to say NO GO.........probably hurt you more than it did him.............but the worse is him saying no way is he quitting and if that's what you all think you're wrong.

How many of us remember that...........and meaning it............cause we didn't want to quit.........he's so stuck..........but then again his using sticks your mom, gram, you and everyone who loves him.........too dangerous.

You talking about it I think will help.........and us recalling all that crappola from our days can surely help us............can't ever forget..............I'm sorry ZG.

Yo, I 'll catch ya on that thingie tomorrow..............our super dee dooper communication line.......LOL.........hey, the baby has his birthday coming up, right? Focus on tha if ya can a little and maybe your mom will find some join in the celebration too............you know I respect you Miss......I mean Ma"am!
