Hi Donna,Well it's been 31 yrs. ago almost to the day now. My brother is doing great (he is 41 now) he is very well adjusted..no mental problems at all. He is brilliant , has a wife and two young children, and a great job. He and i are very tight..i love him very much and am very proud of him. But he did go through some rough times. From age 17 to 22 he drank heavily and was experimenting with some drugs. But he is strong, he stopped "cold turkey" at age 22 and has never looked back. He got his college degree and has been productive and successful ever since. He is very supportive of my personal problems and is always there for me. HE'S THE BEST!
Actually, i think watching my Mother go through all that sh*t, had more of a long term negative effect on me ( maybe because i was older and remember it much more clearly than he does). Counseling (lots) has helped me a lot though. I am okay with it today. Well, you are sweet to inquire, thank you for caring! :)
