My brother is lost in the thick of drugs and my family has to keep him away because he is destructive. I just miss him. It’s hard
I am sorry that your brother is being kept away, that must be very difficult for you. Having a family member with an addiction is challenging enough nevermind not having contact with them. Is there anyway you can coordinate any type of communication with your brother? Perhaps with your family to help monitor? Also, do you ever speak with your family about the concerns you have for your brother? Chances are that your family may be feeling similar. It may be nice to have the conversation together. If you would Iike to talk about this more or anything else please reach out to our live counselors anytime 24/7/365 through our app or by texting/calling 1(888)222-2228. Remember it only takes a SECOND to reach out!
I understand this completely. My brother is an alcoholic and extremely aggressive. I miss the old him, the innocent version. The one who would make me laugh and be there for me when needed. I’m sorry you are going through this and I hope one day both our brothers get the help they deserve and find peace.
I’m sorry that you are dealing with this it must be very difficult and mentally draining for you. Always reach out to a trusted friend or family to talk about your feelings and they might be able to share words of wisdom and relate to how you are feeling. In addition therapy can be helpful to talk about ways to deal with missing him from being away right now!
This is a safe space to share what's on your mind and to get support from real people.
