I was cruising through my DS communities and I get a phone call from my brother. Long story short about my brother. He got kicked out by our mom's 2nd husband because he came out as being gay. He moved to Atlanta, became a club kid, did lots of drugs, got addicted to meth. He moved back to Mississippi in 2001. He was still using and attempted suicide in 2004 unsuccessfully. Later that year he reunited with our father and started doing anything that came through my our drugdealing dad's house. On New Year's eve 2005 he had a psychotic episode and we called the paramedics and because of my dad's reputation the narcotics detectives and several street officer's showed up. My brother refused to get in the ambulance and after several attempts the paramedics gave up and they took him to jail. 3 days later he sobered up and did not know how he got in jail. My dad called a favor that he not be put into population because he is gay.
Because of this, my brother completed rehab and is now in college and has a very successful landscaping business.
I still feel guilty that I was the reason he had to go to jail because during that period I was using with him.
I don't have the addiction gene. In my past, I could use something and say well that was fun and walk away.
This phone call tonight was regarding a family friend's daughter who I have never met. She is a prostitute and IV heroin and crack addict living in motels on E. Colfax in Denver which is famous for its crime and truly skid row. She has taken her mother who is on disability for $1700 in the past few months and kept making excuses on why and when she was going to get treatment. My brother called and wanted me to talk to the mother and convince her that she needed to go to jail or wanted me to go find her and keep her till her court date on Tuesday. I am not going to get her so I had to decide to find out if I could get her picked up and taken to jail or say not my problem. I called her bonds man and asked him what her situation was. She has warrants in 3 counties. He has tried for a year to get her to go to rehab and said this was the last was her last chance. Her bond is $25,000. I talked to him and we decided that her mom had been through enough. He is revoking her bond and he is done.
I called the police Dept. told them what was going on and where she was staying. I explained that she refused to go to treatment and everyone was worried she was going to jump bond so it was being revoked. I informed them that she was an IV drug user for their safety and that she may have drugs as well.(She was waiting for her mom to send her $100)
The bonds man called me and said that she had been picked up.
I called my brother and told him that she was in jail and he told the mother and I could hear her begin to sob. My brother wanted me to talk to her but I was afraid she would be angry. When she got on the phone she said she was crying tears of joy. I told her that I understood that she couldn't put her child in jail and that if she kept going along with her daughter she was just signing her death certificate. And she could trust me and my brother because we have been through it and it was the right thing to do.
The mother got a call and the daughter said that she had five minutes to get her out of jail because of petty reasons...
The mother called me back and I told her to get in touch with a friend to go get her dog and belongings out of the motel room and make sure no one bonds her out.
What I need is for everyone to pray that my friend has the strength and peace to allow her daughter face her demons. I also ask that you pray for this daughter so that she can realize she is loved and can overcome her addictions.
I also want your prayers. I have been a residential counselor and I have seen some heartbreaking situations. I need to have peace that I given this not by choice but by the grace of God to save this girls life.
Thank you for every little prayer and all the positive energy. We are going to need it.
