| | | Posted by argonian The kid likely will be roaming the earth for several more decades. It would be nice if someone tried to get him help instead of writing him off at such a young age.
| My parents are trying to help him...he's been going to therapy for years. But the shit I've been through with him, I feel like I've given him enough second chances. Call me bitter, but I can't even bring myself to hug him anymore. So, he is getting help. Just not from me. Talking to her would be a good idea, even a quick IM or email, She would probably feel a little better knowing his own sister was supporting her, and didnt side with him just because he is family. | I would agree, except for two things. 1. She's only 14, and I feel like her mom would have some issues with me talking to her out of the blue, to "comfort" her, and 2. because of the investigation, my talking to her and telling her I basically know and believe everything she says (which is true) might complicate the investigation for my brother. Not that I don't think that he deserves what he gets, I'm just between a rock and a hard place, here.

| Try different therapists? Staying with one can be detrimental if they aren't helping. I was forced to stay with the same one when I was for years when I was young. He thought there was nothing wrong with me. Oh he was VERY fucking wrong. I think he should be sued. If I didn't go to the hospital for help theres a very big chance I wouldn't be here now. Seriously. Some therapists are fucking dumb and useless.

| He's been with several, over the years. Right now I think he's doing group therapy, as well as (I think) one-on-one. I'm not privy to all the doctors he sees, but my parents are pretty good at judging who's helping and who's not. Unfortunately, due to his issues, he has attachment disorder, severe ADHD, and PTSD, all of which are being treated. He's been to therapists, psychologists, and neurologists. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in a mental institution. That's what my parents were going to push for with his last conviction (it was downed to a trespassing violation, but shoulda been arson). He also still has a vandalism charge hanging over his head. Either way, I don't really care anymore. My parents are really good people, and are doing their best to do what's right, whatever right may be. I'm just through with him. My parents are obligated to love him, I'm not. (I sound awful, don't I?)

| I know how it is to be at your wit's end with family members. It's a shame he is in such (legitimately) bad condition :/
