He called and told me he's going to rehab again and that he's been doing crack and going to scary crack houses. He's going to stay with my Mom tonight because his apartment got broken into again (apparently by fellow crack users). Man, this is just so insane! This is the same brother who got straight A's, the only one of us to get a college degree, used to go on mission trips, returned found money, never drank, just the best person you possibly imagine! And then he just went off the deep end! I swear, if I ever see that cousin of mine who introduced him to crack, I will freaking go crazy on him. I know my brother made his own decisions and is an adult, but he is also bipolar and highly impressionable. This is my baby brother I'm talking about! I'm just so, so upset right now. But I told him he was doing the right thing. I just hope my Mom doesn't have a freaking heart attack trying to deal with this all. I don't know why he goes to her, she's the last person I would go to, but they've always had a different relationship. She's not that stable herself though and I worry. I'm going to try to watch Order of the Pheonix and lose myself, but I will check back here. Any support is appreciated.
