A doctrine of alienation

[Mystical]

Seems your brother has traded one vice for another.  Sucks, but that's how the SA makes their nut.  Who dropped him off with those ghouls in the first place, or did he just float down the drain into their clutches?

My brother has been reliant upon living with one family member or another since he turned 18. He dropped out of diesel mechanic school merely months away from completion. Hasn't been able to hold jobs down for the same reason he quit school; he rage quits. Once his truck got repossessed he resorted to buying beer for underage kids where he lived and doing acid. My uncle gave him a second, third try (being unabl to afford mortgage on his own for each of those times), but he ended up just sleeping away his troubles till he ended up on the street. My mom and step mom got him in there, which is a feat considering Colorados overpopulation issues. My step mom used to work with the people there as a drug counselor. I don't quite expect my brother to do anything to improve from here--but maybe, maybe he will. I know it sounds pessimistic but I've spent years hoping and praying for my father. Without medical intervention they just keep goin down the drain despite my offers of support and resolution. To my father the only way I could help him in his eyes was to live in his fantasy world which I literally could no longer do with sound conscience for his and others well being.
