I fully realize that this is a serious conversation I'm butting into with my juvenile stupidity, but, bahahahahahaha!

Sorry if this sounds insensitive but maybe you should try not bashing him in the same letter that your telling him you miss him and care about his well-being.

I think you're missing the whole story. He actually didn't understand he had done these things and made it a very traumatic time for his family and his brother. I think it was a perfectly written letter and should hit home with his brother. After being sober for two months i'm sure hes ready to start a new life and I hope for his families sake he stays true to his words.

I admit I don't know his brother so I could be wrong as to how he will perceive the part of the letter I quoted. |

You haven't come across insensitive, just uninformed.
My brother is manic bi-polar, so it's hard to get a grasp on what he comprehends wand what he doesn't comprehend. He is also somebody who has been babied and spoiled by my parents to the point where he doesn't get told what he does wrong. I wasn't bashing him. I'm reminding him of why he is there. My parents, who are amazing people, love their kids too much. In school I would be grounded for bad grades or detentions for a month and it would last three days. My brother would have his car taken away from him for coming home late or not coming home at all and that would last a few days. I got into a fist fight with him a couple months ago and didn't speak with him for a while afterward. When I finally did he completely forgot what I was mad at him for. I've been so conditioned to expect the worse from him but I still have a desire in me to help/fix him. I remind him of what he has done so that he doesn't forget it and act like nothing has happened. Before he went to jail, he almost OD'd on painkillers. My mother had to give him CPR and ultimately saved his life. He used heroin the next day. As long as you still don't think I was "bashing" him then I respect your opinion and your experiences from your area. I was not bashing him. I was reminding him of what he was/is responsible for. If I mentioned it every single day it would be overkill but this is the third letter I have sent him in two and a half months. He needs to be reminded of it from the person who it directly affected. Thanks for the defense Fred. |

Yeh man I get it. I don't remember reading about his manic bi-polar disorder. It was 2-3 months ago when I read your post asking for advice. I just have a bad taste in my mouth after dealing with so much of it.
Good luck as always, I know how hard it is. I am only being critical out of concern because sometimes that kind of talk just pushes addicts further or makes them shutdown completely. |

So I woke up this morning and went to use the bathroom/toilet, and my urine was the color of coffee (i.e., there was blood in it). That was more than unnerving enough to get me to go see my doctor. They drew some blood, I peed in a cup for them, and they returned with basically two possibilities at this point: it's either a bladder infection, or uh some kind of...tumor.
Given that I'm a 21 year-old male type 1 diabetic, it's probably just an infection resulting from my diabetes (which happens A LOT). The tumor scenario is like...impossible at my age. |
