My brother is 6 years older than me and was my idol growing up. In my teens my brother became a full fledged meth head...homeless and talking to himself. He threatened to murder me and my family with a gun and my mom had him put into a mental hospital. They kept him all of 3 days. I get angry about that. I was only 17 and utterly terrorized by my brother ....he would rob people and they'd come to the house looking for him. Somebody robbed him and he brought me with him to help shake the criminal down! I could go on and on and on with what he did. Then he met a girl....said she changed his life....they married and have 4 adopted kids who they love and spoil. His life isn't perfect but on paper it looks better than most. Love can do wonderful things for some people. Love is my only reason for living.

My family and I have an intervention planned for our addict and I sure hope we have the success your family had. I'm so happy for you all. (((Hugs)))
