[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I stopped speaking to my brother about a year ago.  It is very hard in a lot of ways, as we were very close, but I realize I can't be involved anymore.  This came after a lifetime of drug abuse and terrible situations, one very scary incident in which he almost killed my whole family by ODing while driving us, and a full day of him holding my family hostage in a remote area of a very foreign country while berating me so harshly that I could no longer bear it.  He does not live nearby.  I should probably call, but I can't.  Maybe someday.[/quote]

Do you miss him?  Is he doing well?  Do you think about him? I miss my brother and I mourn who he used to be.  I disagree with his life choices and I no longer like him as a person very much, but i love him deeply.  I miss how close we used to be and I wish daily that one day he finds himself again.  I pray nightly that he's safe and well.  Even had my kids pray for him too.  This saddens me.  Wondering how you deal.[/quote]

Is your brother also a drug-addicted violent psycho?

Which is not, by the way, merely a "life choice" that one "disagrees with", like he prefers Pepsi and you like Coke.[/quote]
