- Submerged into the nightmare of my brothers addiction we were unaware that cancer was colonizing my fathers body. Life was revolving around my brothers non-existence and along did we sing the song of nothingness, day in and day out. My father has...
- I am a new member reaching out and willing to give back to the extend of my ability. My father was recently diagnosed with stage iv colon cancer, multiple liver mets as well as mets to the lungs and bones. It feels unworldly to even have it written...
- Its been some time since I last wrote in the board. I would like to welcome the new members and wish you strength, clarity of mind and peace in your heart. I am reaching out knowing that my family is facing a dead end once more. For the new ones...
- I guess the title says it all. The child was removed from the hospital yesterday, completing almost 5 months there. She has been taken to a state funded childrens' shelter 2 hrs away from here, a nice place, like a luxury hotel for kids. She was...
- Hi everyone, I just finished reading this and found it quite insightful. Russell Brand, the comedian, talks about addiction, being a recovering addict himself for the past 10 years. It's a pretty honest opinion piece. ...
- Just talked with my parents. The child was found by the D.A. and the police all alone in the house and was removed immediately. Brother and that woman were taken to court and were sentenced to 4 months for neglect, but can appeal. My brother said...
- I just wanted to let you know that the D.A. was informed today about the abuse my brother's child is suffering from. After long and painfull talks with my father, he finally summoned up the courage to brief the D.A. again This is no short of a...

- I am so scared he is going to hurt himself. Scared that he will commit suicide tonight. I am stuck between terror and this voice that tells me that nothing is going to happen, it's just one of these days, again. My brother sent me a couple of...
- Hi there. Its been sometime since I last posted in the group. My brother is still on methadone (thats what he says, at least, we dont have access to info due to doctor-patient confidentiality) and he is still staying at the family house. The child...
- As Im writing this entry my brother is at the police station. The police were called by the neighbors because of the noise. My brother was banging on the door of the apartment where he has been living with the g/f for the past 3 years, child along....
- *sorry for the long post.*I am confused beyond words. Today was the day I met my brother after almost 3 years. The reason behind our meeting was not his asking so. It was because he found out about the wedding and expressed his wish to attend.My...
- Hi everyone, Feels like ages since the last time I was active in the group, but I drop by every other day to see how youre doing. For reason unclear even to me, I find it hard to participate.. Its like I dont have the words to offer support or show...
- Here's a link to a commentary about the notorious [at least in the UK] by now email a "bitterly disappointed" father sent to his three adult children. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/27/opinion/brooks-how-people-change.html?smid=fb-shareI'm posting...
- I need to say this outloud:I certainly didnt cause it, I realize I cant control it, and Im not god to cure it. Since early September weve been waiting on my brother to act on his words, ie join outpatient rehab. I didnt hold my breath, although my...
