Bittersweet day

I'm so excited bc my little man just learned how to ride a two wheeler at 4 years old! On top of that he told us tonight he never wants to go to college bc he wants to live with us forever. So sweet, brought tears to my eyes. Unfortunately I also found out my brother will be going back to prison after being out almost 6 months for heroin again. He was never out long enough to get to know my son and I guess he won't be out to meet this baby either. Kind of not surprised but so sad still.

    It is so bittersweet to watch them grow!  And sorry about your brother.  Mine is also an addict, but luckily he has gotten better at staying clean lately!

    Thanks. It's nice to know I'm not the only one. It's really hard and has been pretty much the whole time dh and I have been tgthr. He missed my graduation, wedding and birth of my son. He is also my only sibling so it's tough. Glad to hear yours is staying clean. My brother went a year and a half once and it was so great.

    Im sorry. My brother is in recovery but he's had his slips along the way. My only sibling as well. Just gotta take things 1 day at a time as cliche as it sounds.

    People with addictions suck! I've dealt with a few close friends and family battling with something. If they only knew how much they hurt the people that love them. :(

    Just remember addiction is a disease and the drug is the most important thing to them. You will be secondary as long as he uses. The good news is that recovery is possible. My Dad is 61 and a recovered heroine addict. I feel your pain and know the rejection first hand. Noone can make the choice for him. Recognize that he serves heroine and only he can choose to seek help. I am sorry for your pain and his trials. Sending prayers.
