My husbands brother is with this girl who is really ruining his life. The only reason he is with her is because she buys him his alcohol, weed, and cigarettes. He has Scoliosis of the spine really bad so he can't work. He thinks that she is the only person out there who will ever love him for the way he is. I told him once before that, that isn't true. There is someone out there for everyone. So anyways, this girl is very controlling. She wont let him come visit his family. She has to go into the restroom with him. Any wheres he goes she has to be right there. He has no life with her. I am surprised he can breath being with her. My mother in-law is really worried about him. He wasn't into alcohol that bad until he got with her. She buys it so he wont leave her. I am so scared for him because he might get so depressed living with her that he might do something that we all are afraid to admit to. He is an awesome person and I can't watch him keep getting hurt like that from someone who is so insecure of herself that she would put someone through this. He doesn't deserve this and I just need some advice on how to get him to come home and to be with his family again. He needs to get away from her before he does it in a bad way. I love him with all my heart and my husband is all torn up about it. He tells me that no one can help him he has to do it himself. I said that he is so trapped by her he doesn't know how to get out. She has things over his head that he is scared to leave her. She is manipulating him in some way and he can't get away from her. He needs help to get out. I feel for him because his dad isn't doing to well sense his car accident last year and he can't even come and see him. She will not let him. See she isn't welcome to his parents home, she has stolen money from his mother while she let her live in her home for free. His parents has no respect for someone who disrespects them in their home when they were nice enough to open their doors and home to. So she isn't welcome there. So sense she can't go there then she wont let him either. See he doesn't have a car and she does. When he does try to call home she will ketch him and he hurries up and hangs the phone up. There is something going on there. I am so worried about him and just need some advice to what I or any of his family can do? Thanks for listening.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
