ok. to start out the story. My brother who is 23 and still lives @ home has a drug addiction problem. I'm not going to say what it is, but he won't go to rehab and my parents are and have been aware of the situation. he always acts werid and shit, and liek passes out and snaps back out of it...

I work for my dad small construction comapny and i usally don't take my car to work because i get super dirty and i have no a/c.

anyways, i had to ride into work with my brother yesterday and today. He is always late and rushing.

In the car he can barely drive, and basically closes his eyes and passes out and shit. So today yesterday being scared for my life on the way into work, i told him i was gonna drive, and he said no and gave me shit.

So fearing for my life today all the way to work, about 5 miles from our shop where we gather in the morning, he basically passes out, hands and neck go limp and he goes into oncoming traffic @ 55mph, and what do you know, another suv jeep like his own is coming right @ us, like 50ft away. i yell his name and grab the wheel to avoid us crashing.

I guess then my adrenaline took over and i bashed him in the face with my fist once, and told him to pull over. i then got out and walked five miles to the shop, yelling why don;'t you go to rehab you fucking half retarded loser.

When i get to the shop, my dad as awlays sticks up for him, and gives me shit! what the fuck. i told him to wake the fuck up and stop being so nieve.

Long story short, im waiting to see what happens when my mom and dad get home from work.. my mom was almost crying when i told her what happen.

Cliff notes: brother almost crashes head on, i punch him, and walk 5 miles. then i get bitched @,

/end rant

 

That sucks man, sounds like he really needs help.

What is he addicted to?

 

damn that is some crazy shit Pat. If your dad keeps treating your bro like that instead of dealing with the problm your bro will never go on his own to get treatment for his addiction.

 

that....and something more serious can happen.

 

Man that's rough. I think you did the right thing in walking...he can't be endangering your life like that. I assume he is your parents first born? They probably know something is up but refuse to accept the problem.

 

That is a messed up situation. Not to bash on you some more, but why did you even get in the car when you know that something like this would happen? :dunno: I guess I understand that you don't want to get your car dirty but damn, I will send you $5.00 to go wash your car.

Sounds to me like its time to move out. I still don't understand why your parent won't help your brother get help. :dunno:

 

Well, my parents have known for a long time. My dad is the one that refuses to accept the problem. My Mom tryed to get him in a program and he abused it, and then told them if they ever tryed to send him away to a rehab place, he'd walk out because he is over 21.

When my dad was yelling @ me, i told him, that i hope he doesn't ''wake up'' and face this problem with him after, hate to say it, but dead or in jail. Because that would be depressing.

 

thats some messed up shit man. It seems like he needs a reality check, hes dicking around at home and not doing much shit besides that.

doesn't he realize after an incident like that, he should do something about that?

 

thats what i said. it its sad that its gonna take something worse then this to straighten him out.

and he should be moved out, he makes prob near 30,000$ a yar and has nothing to show for.

 

your parents need to give him an ultimatum either quite the drugs and stay or move out and do whatever he wants to do with his life which is no concern to your parents. I mean the trouble he's getting into will get your family into trouble, emotionally and possibly physically. basically a shape up or ship out thing, your parents have to take a definitive stance or he'll keep walking over them.
