Members Rooph Posted July 9, 2015 Members Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I'm new to this whole forum posting so bare with me. On May 13, 2015 I got the call from my mom that my little brother hung himself. he was 22 years old. I grew up with him for over 18 years. I always knew that he wanted more out of his life than he thought he was capable of. The last conversation I had with him was him asking me if he can live with me and my wife for a couple months so he can get his ged. I met my wife and left home before my parents split. He struggled when my parents split up and got into gangs and drugs. Almost 2 months later I'm finally starting to understand his descision. Finally back into the daily grind at work. They're busting my ass, mandatory 60 hrs a week that only help me focus. My little brother developed voices in his head that I think eventually got to him. What hurts me the most is the thought that I've could've been there more for him. I didn't do as much as I can as an older brother to him. I've had problems with alcoholism in the past and it's back again. My wife and 2 year old daughter come home to me only to be drunk. I have my good days and bad days. Today I'm having a bad day. How can I be strong for them and grieve at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blujonny Posted July 10, 2015 Members Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'm sorry to hear what you're going through. If you ever want to talk I pop in and out of the chat room during the day or you could message me a time and I could plan on being online then.
