Need to vent

Once again, my brother Nick has been caught using drugs. I knew he was up to something about a month ago, but as usual, my parents didnt want to believe me. he admitted to my mom the other night that he has been doing it again. i have 2 theories...
either he told her because he wants help again, or it's because he drained his bank account and knew they would find out anyways. i'm betting on the second one.

he has been to detox and rehab twice, and spent 3 months at a halfway house for teens. obviously none of this helped any. well, i take that back, it didnt help him, but i think it has helped us understand a little better. i have to remember that this is a disease and that he doesnt WANT to be an addict, but at the same time, its hard thinking like that when i know that he was sober at one point and made the conscious decision to start using again. 

i am done blaming his friends, and myself and our parents. this is no one's fault but his own and he needs to man up and take responsibility for his actions. he will either end up dead or in jail. hopefully its the latter. 

mom and dad are going to some meeting with his probation officer today, so hopefully we will know what will happen after that is done. SOMEHOW he has been passing all his drug tests, not sure how, but either way, i'm pretty sure shooting up is breaking probation. 

on a better note:
My good friend M (who also happens to be my boyfriend's sister) and her boyfriend B are buying a house! they are signing papers and everything this weekend, getting the loan all sorted out. congrats guys! cant wait to see it.

hope everyone had a better night then i did
xoxo

Yay for the blog! It's fun to have a place to journal and see what other prople are up to. Sorry about your brother. That sounds like it really tough on your family. Hopefully soon he will do what it takes to get some help for good! See ya! :)
