I don't know what to do anymore.

My brother has destroyed my relationship with him. Destroyed.

I woke up today and checked my bank account to see that it has overdrawn. I knew my spending money was down a bit but the overdrawing was surprising. I check my transactions to see what happened and I notice something. Three checks have been cashed in the last three days from my account totaling $345. I didn't cash any checks. PNC has this wonderful feature where they can show you an image of the checks as they were signed and who they were signed for. I see my brothers name on it.

I wake him up and show him what he did and all he has to say is "Oh...****." like I just showed him a bad report card.

I don't know what to do. I have no answer. I can't even tell my parents. My dad has severe depression. This will destroy him. I can't tell my mom. She has enough sh*t to deal with my grandmother's court case and all.

The worst part is that I've been working so much for this money to move out that I've been a grumpy person around my house, usually taking things out on my brother because of all the resentment I have for him. I went to therapy yesterday and talked all about how wrong I am for harboring these ill feelings for my brother. I actually convinced myself that me treating him like that was wrong and that he isn't going to grow as a person if I keep shoving him back down.

F*ck him.

This is the last time he steals from me without me calling the cops. I should be on the phone right now. I really should. The only reason I'm not is because of my parents. This would destroy them and I love them more than I love my brother. I told him he's going to pay me back and if I don't see money in two weeks that I'm telling my parents.

Oh, I didn't even tell you people why he stole the money. To pay back his drug dealers that he's owed $500 to since last year.

I need to get out of my house. I have too. I'm looking at five apartments today and I'll bet that they look way better than they are considering the world of sh*t I reside in now.

I'm sorry homie... Allow me to pry for a second, will you... Does he have a porblem? Gambling/drugs/internet porn?

EDIT: Oh wait... sorry I just saw that.... How bad is this problem I am assuming he has? Because 500 is a nice chunk of change to owe someone...

start the tunes? I don't get that slang.


Argh, I should have told Nintendo to just fuck off and give me back my money. I sent in my Limited Edition Zelda 3DS XL to get repaired because it wasn't turning on or charging. They send me back saying that water somehow got into it and it isn't covered under warranty so if I want them to repair it. I will have to pay 80 dollars. Which I gritted my teeth and gave them. A few days later they tell me that they can't repair it and they will just send me a Blue/Black one or Red/Black one because it is Limited Edition and they don't have any replacement ones in stock.

I really should have just told them piss off and give me back my money so that I can use it towards getting another Zelda 3DS XL but I didn't. Now I'm getting a regular looking Blue/Black 3DS XL that now costs me 330 bucks in value. I hope they were able to salvage my data from the other system at least and transferred it to this new system.

I'd have called the police, had him arrested, and pressed full charges. You may not be giving your parents enough credit. They're stronger than you think, and hiding this will only make things worse for all parties involved. Put this **** into the spotlight, don't let it fester in the dark.

Ahh, yes, well speaking from personal experience it is something nasty that really never truly goes away... 90% relapse rate for opiate addiction.. I am not saying what he did was right at all... But understand at some point the person you love, is not in there, making those decisions you feel me... It's a completely self serving mindless zombie, that is really to chicken **** to get sick...(This is where I differ from other addicts, I have never stolen a thing to get high, never had to do things I felt were compromising, because no man, I'll get sick, I can take it...)

Recently I have come under the beliefs that you grow out of it, or you die...I have reached that place personally where it's not worth the bull**** that goes with it...Not cause I don't love the feeling I do, I just don't want to deal with the shady, scummy **** that goes with it...Strange ppl on my couch at 4 am that sorta thing....

My hope for your brother is he reaches a place like that, and is able and willing to rectify the rift he is causing... I wouldn't tell your father, I really wouldn't... But I also wouldn't call the cops the next time either... And it's easy to say out of anger, but when your brother is doing some time, as good as it might be, the weight of that guilt of taking away his freedom might crush you...I am just sayin maybe it won't... I dunno... Chin up, darling, it's money, as much as you worked for it, it comes and it goes, and good things do happen to good people, so you'll get what's coming to you in a different way... You never know you might find a place cheaper then you exspect...

OH YEAH WHIP HIS ASS ONE GOOD TIME...LIKE OUTTA THE BLUE...WORKED ON THE SOPRANOS

Well best of luck, that is a really ****ty situation just know you are not alone with family problems. I know that doesn't make you necessarily feel better right away but at least you can take some comfort in the fact that people of all ages and places have to deal with immature family members. We chose our friends but not our family and sometimes the best thing to do is separate yourself from them.

Dont let it get you down too much exo it is only money, at least you are safe and the rest of yourself family is currently safe.
