UPDATE TIME



So, I just wanted to update this thread for anybody that still remembers the issues I had with my brother. For those of you who don't...

tldr; Younger brother does heroin for number of years, steals from me and my family, steals from friends, gets fired from numerous jobs, gets admitted to rehabs and mental facilities for months, drives my father to serious depression, causes my parents thousands, all culminating in an attempted robbery of a gas station that leads to him being in jail all of this summer. He is now enrolled in drug court and if he f*cks up he will be in prison for five years. He got out of jail on Halloween.

So, Ryan is doing f*cking awesome.

He's been home about two months now and the change in him is incredible. Sure, he isn't perfect. He is still jobless but I can't even explain how much of a different person he is. I have my brother back. Christmas Eve the four of us had one of the best nights together as a family, talking, laughing, for hours. His grip on his past and his future is encouraging and he's doing everything that the drug court is asking from him. He has passed all his drug tests and hasn't missed an outpatient program even though he has to take several buses past the area where he would get high, to get there.

Time will tell if this holds up, but I feel he's finally turning a new leaf.

Just wanted to update.
