Thoughts and prayers to all! If that was my brother I'd beat him with in an inch of his life and lock him up and dry him out.
you dont know how many times that exact thought has went through my head. Lol... i hope he gets it together. All his friends are in jail and the fella im sure he gets it from is not getting out for a while. I jumped on him ( brother) pretty good a few weeks ago but i felt like crap for doing it. He was showing out real bad and probably deserved it but i still hated myself for it. I would never just wash my hands of him. We are VERY close when he's sober. This is the first time hes ever done this kind of crap. He's my little brother and ive looked out for him for 21 years. I aint stopping now. But he will never get money from me. Period. I just wish something drastic other than him getting hurt/killed would happen and act like a big slap in the face for him and he'd just lay everything down. Thank yall for the thoughts |

Yep Louie...tuff love most of the time is because we care and it is real love...when my sons were growing up they did not understand...I just told them it is because I care what happens to you...and I want what's best for you...

Training dogs is not about quantity, it's more about timing, the right situations, and proper guidance...After that it's up to the dog...
A hunting dog is born not made...

georgia, sometimes a person has to fall down to learn how to stand up. i bet if that support (your watching out for him) is pulled out from under him, he will fall, and may fall many times before he gets its. as children, sometimes we want to do something so much and get told no, no, no and so forth, till finally we are told yes, and of course our parents knew what would happen, but we had to learn it the hard way. sometimes complacency sets in with folks, and your brother is complacent knowing your gonna be there to watch out for him. if he won't/can't or doesn't want to break the habit of complacency, you and your family may need to break it for him and as the saying goes, "shake the tree and see what falls". it may take severe injury to wake him up, it may take an anonnimous call to the police and jail time to wake him up. i grew with "tough love" and alone so to speak ( only child and my dad worked nights and i went to school during the day) so a people person i am not, and growing up with tough love built an iron shell around my heart and little room for compassion, but a near death experience may be what it takes to wake him up to life.

Why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can!
