My a/brother which is early 50s has exhausted and burn up all his bridges,his daughter and wife had given him 1000s of chances to get straight to no avail so they gave him a one way ticket to Dallas Texas where he knows nobody and sent him on his way,I haven't spoken or seen him in 6 yrs because of his stealing and drugs,he has been in a few homeless shelters that he done whatever and can't stay at,my ageing father turned his back to him yrs ago,the last call my dad got was several days ago from a/brother and he was scared to death said he was living in tent city in Dallas,Tx and that an organization was after him .which ain't good,it's this desease is so bad that it seems to bring them down some way by either ,jail,covered up or sobered up and I don't believe in sobered up in my foo case,it's never happened,nobody in my foo is being concerned about his wear aborts it's like well could be a funeral to go to.its sad cause he has got a soul and he is still human ,it would only seem normal to want to at least check to see if he is still alive,I don't have a clue where to begin looking especially Dallas Texas.and I don't know what a tent city is this is all so strange and I hate it has come down to this with him but he does need major help,he has walked away from rehabs and a mental institution that said he had mental issues really bad,not another word said about that incident from years ago,thanks for listening had to get this one off my chest,and may try to find a no out in Dallas at a police station somewhere to see what can I do to find out if he is ok or not ,I so hate this disease ,I've already had one brother to die from this horrible nitemareish.Des ease,omg not another brother surly not plz pray. For him and that everything will work out for his best if he is still alive.....hugs..lu
((LU)) Prayers and positive thoughts on the way. Many years ago after dealing with this disease for a number of years, I resolved to really "let Go and Let God and that "No news was good news". I would always knew when trouble was involved so I would continued to trust HP and stop worrying . It works.
Thanks for your esh Betty and thanks for the heart felt and warm thoughts doves,whiskey lullaby and sweetness,I hope he turns up ok,it's just don't sound right that none of my ppl are even concerned about him and his wear a outs,all they said was he maybe dead and went back to their doings,I find that as distorted way of thinking ,don't families pull together no matter how bad or evil one has been and is family should pull together when there's a loved one out there all alone in a huge city like Dallas,Tx,I would think,but my ppl have pretty much always been that way ,they have their picks though in this family and I know my brother isn't a pick for sure,but he deserves to know that we care ,care about his getting help although he can't come live with nobody ,but that there is help that family can help get him to a treatment Center,it's like he has been thrown away,and nobody cares anymore what happens to him,but I do care,and maybe they do to in some way ,I'll have him in my prayers and I keep checking his Facebook to see if he has been on it.....this to shall pass,and I know my God has got this,it's just so heartbreakening to me .and hopefully he is still alive this would be his bottom,homeless living in tents ,sad. Thanks again and I'll keep y'all posted should I hear anything about him......hugs lu
LU He is not alonce HP is with him and there are many free institutions out there offering food and shelter and recovery rehab when he is ready. AA is aalso a huge option. When I accepted that I was powerless I found that the best I could do for me or the alcoholic is to"Pray" It helps .
Thank you Betty for replying,that's just what I needed to hear today,for I'm concerned for him but I know he is definitely in charge of every sit.and I know that no news is usually good news ,so there's been nothing yet,no ph calls .so I'm just praying for the best for him.and to keep my mind busy I been planting flowers and going for long walks,and of course posting here........I love my alanon family,.......hugs going out to everyone here,,,,lu
