Need to vent...

I just want to get this out of my system so I can just focus on the rest of my life.

Last night my older brother relapsed and flipped his car. Thank god he’s alive and not hurt and also that no one else was hurt, but I just don’t understand why he’s constantly doing this. Every year he causes some disaster. Just when I thought he was finally growing up he does this. He’s been an alcoholic since he was 15, and was diagnosed with a nervous psychosis disorder at 18. At 16 he got caught with drugs and my parents sent him to rehab. Then at 17 he was arrested for the first time. Once he turned 18 he overdosed on prescription drugs once and attempted suicide twice. He went to rehab again and spent a year in a different state. My parents are literally drowning in debt because of this. What’s worse is that my mom got cancer twice (colon cancer and then ovarian cancer) while trying to deal with my brother. The year before his most recent relapse he crashed through a fence, came home and threw a weight threw my cars window, beat up our dad, and recked the whole house. My parents ended up moving out of the house because of what had happened and my brother has been on probation beyond that incident. So now he’s going to go to jail and my parents are just wrecked. They were just starting to be happy again, they were even planning a vacation to Mexico and now all that is over because of my brother. I used to forgive him because I understand that addiction is a disease but the last two incidents he said that “it’s not a big deal”. He broke my dad’s hand and wrist last year and they lost their home because of what he did and he doesn’t even care! I don’t even know who he is anymore. I’m out of forgiveness for him this time and I’m sad to say that he deserves to go to jail. He needs to pay for all the pain that he caused. Hopefully being in jail forces him to get clean and stay that way.
