How Can I Help My Brother Who Is a Drug Addict?
Question by Jen: How can I help my brother who is a drug addict?
the best brother, loving family has gone up side down. My parents do anything for my brother just to get him out of drugs . unfortunately, he is treating them so bad that they cant take it anymore. My dad is heart patient while mum has depression.
Now things are at the worst level…because my parents decided they r not going to support him (food, finance, home) anymore. they r leaving home without telling him.
what is my role here? hw can i help fix this?

Your parents are making the best decision. Drug addicts will be addicts if someone enables them. Cutting him off from support but not love may let him hit rock bottom, and the decision to get clean will be on him. You don’t need to fix it. You can tell him you love him if you feel comfortable and that you want him to get better. Do not let him know where you are. Drug addicts put a number of different stressors on people they love when the drugs take control of them. He needs tough love right now. I hope he gets better. Unfortunately there’s not a whole lot you can or should do. Your brother and parents will hopefully make your brother realize he has a problem and that he needs help.
