You have my prayers & sympathies. My family has been this many years ago. It’s very hard to understand why someone does this. I won’t go into details & take away from your post. I’m very worried about a family member & there’s nothing I can do.
Please tell those closest to this young person it’s not their fault! Guilt can mess with us & try to bring the living down.
Blessings to you & your family🛐💟✝️
Thank You, thanks so kind. Sometimes I forget this place is so different than much of the outside world. I was in Facebook groups at least five years & people would come down on you for comments or questions on someone’s post. They call it high jacking a post. I’m so great full God led me away from Facebook & to a family💞
It’s a long story & I’ll try to summarize. My brother & I suffer from verbal abuse from our dad. Daddy drank & cursed us out when drunk. He was & is still very controlling. He’s sober but still has the same SOB personality. I have a backbone, stud up to him, didn’t suppress memories. My brother is the opposite. I have a stable family & marriage. My brother has a son that is grown with a baby & doesn’t work. My brother lost his job from staying out. We both suffer from different types of mental disorders. He hasn’t worked in over 9 months. I don’t know why they haven’t foreclosured on his home. I asked him Sunday was he ok.
He said no, he has chest pains & prays for death.
I asked him was he suicidal. (He admitted he wouldn’t be here 15 years ago if his son wasn’t around) He said no, he’s just doesn’t care about anything.
I can’t tell my dad because he doesn’t see my brother has a disorder. He tells him he’s lazy. True he is lazy to an extent. But he’s not the same person!
I know broken! I’ve been there myself a few times. I’ve been at rock bottom. But I’ve never been suicidal.
I’m praying & I plan to keep checking on him.
We have never been that close but we have never disliked each other.
My grandmother’s father shot himself when she was 9 & she was in the room. That led to her mom loosing the children to the state. Back then if the mom wasn’t married children were taken. This was around 1920s. My uncle, her son hung himself because he was facing possible criminal charges. I don’t know the details. He got lonely and desperate in his old age. Alcohol had made affected his cognitive thinking. I’m sure he was always gay.
I think my grandmother took it better than the rest of rest of family. Possibly because she had been through so much.
She was the strongest person I ever met. My other Grandma was the next strongest.
Anyone reading this don’t disregard someone’s strange behavior! Most families have some form of trauma & they are good at covering it up.
