Last year from September to the end of November I stayed out all night, drank, did drugs, partied etc. and completely lost the trust of my mother. She sent me to treatment (for alcoholism and depression) twice, with no avail and after me breaking my promises many times to her and my stepdad, they sent me to live with my real dad in Korea. I really screwed up, and my mom doesn’t want me turning out like my brother who is an alcoholic and smokes weed.. During that time I’d tell her I wouldn’t do it again and I was sorry but I would end up being an idiot and screwing it up and breaking those promises. I’ve been away from her from December til now, so 5 and a half months, and I really want to go back and live with her this summer. I haven’t had a drink or done drugs for that long I’ve been away, even though it is easier here to get alcohol because they don’t card you. I’ve talked to her on facebook and tried to tell her I’ve changed but I know she’s wary to believe me. I want to convince her AND my stepdad that I have truly changed and I am a better person now, and I would hate to lie to her now and be that person I was. I am very depressed living with my dad, because my mom raised me and I feel incomplete away from her. She tells me she misses me so much but it’s hard for me to believe her since she doesn’t want me back(she even gets mad when I say that because she says it isn’t true), but I understand because for her it’s hard to believe that I have changed. School ends mid June, and I want to come home some time this summer, because if I stay here, my dads contract ends in November and I’ll have leave halfway through my Junior year.. and yes I realize I am young and it was VERY dumb of me to do what I did, but I learned that now.. and I don’t even like alcohol or anything.. the problem is living with my dad is very depressing and he doesn’t let me leave or do anything with my friends, even though the times he has let me I’ve done exactly what I told him I was and haven’t broke any promises. My dad hates my mom and doesn’t want me ever living with her again but…Please help me and tell me what I should do to convince my mom to let me come back and live with her, I want it so badly! She said after a year I could come back, but I’ve been so good I’m hoping it can be like a prison sentence and I can be released on good behavior! So any advice? Please !Thank you so much!

My brother is a heavy drinker and became belligerent with my 76 year old Mother last night. He did NOT lay a hand on her but I am afraid it won’t be long before something like that does happen. I am worried for my Mom as she has had a heart attack once and cannot take the stress of having to deal with his erratic behavior when he is drinking. He lives with her. I would like to go to the court house to talk to someone possibly putting him away to get treatment for his Psych issues (which I am sure he has as a result of his extended use of alcohol) AND at the same time address his alcoholism which has gone untreated for many many years! I love my brother (he’s 47) — but this behavior is unacceptable. Does any one have any experience with this.
PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY SARCASTIC ANSWERS TO THIS BECAUSE IT IS A VERY SERIOUS SITUATION AND I AM ASKING FOR HELP!—– thanks—

…my 56 year old brother had the majority of a malignant brain tumor removed by a neurosurgeon recently. He’s now home recuperating and physically is feeling well for the time being. Being that the tumor is malignant, would alternative medicines help him at all? And if so, what alternative medicine treatments would be beneficial?

My brother is homeless, he is an alcoholic and he has been to rehab hundreds of times(more than I could even estimate) over the last 20 or 30 years without ever paying a dime. I pay 00 a month for my blue cross-blue shield family plan. I pay a 500 dollars copay for each person of my family before the insurance will even begin to cover anything. It is a 500 dollar copay for each person and for each part of the program, 500 prescription 500 major medical and 500 regular blue cross each. Why do people who are in jail or homeless or useless get better treatment than my family who work. what the heck and why am I so bitter? ha

I recently moved back home with my dad. I just graduated college and my dad invited me to live here while I have time to save for a down payment on a home. I help him with utilities plus I give him money to help with the mortgage every month. My brother also lives with us, but he doesn’t work and has a severe anxiety disorder. Anyway.. since I’ve moved back home, my father doesn’t help me at all. Him and I alternate buying groceries, but it’s always my brother or I that has to make dinner or any meals. He never helps with cleaning, laundry, dishes, anything. He’s retired and lays around the house, playing poker online, and drinking his days away. He absolutely refuses any alcoholism treatment and is getting more and more stubborn as he gets older. How can I help this man that isn’t looking for help? And.. maybe some help around the house?

My brother has non-communicating or obstructive hydrocephalus from swollen ventricles,and I’ve actually found some alternative treatments for it like hydra-tab or cephratex.But I was wondering if there were anymore?I posted this question before,but only got one response.

tons, hydrocephalus has to do with the ventricles in the brain, not the heart.
garrison,my mother wasn’t to old to be pregnant,because she had me 4 and a half years after she had my brother and I’m normal as far as I know.

I am applying for a position researching drug and alcohol use in my state. In your opinion, should I include my personal experience in helping my brother receive treatment for his own alcoholism and the steps I have taken to do so?

Just wondering if I can add a personal touch without seeming like I am looking for sympathy. I feel like my personal experience will enhance the skills and qualities I will bring to the position.
