Despicable He

So....this is probably the second most awful thing my bro has ever done.

I don't know if I wrote about what I consider to be the first most awful.

Here they both are, you can decide. Also, if you are considering trying heroin, please don't. It will destroy everything.

Back story: My bro went out and got himself addicted to heroin about five years ago.

First story: After two prior failed rehab stents, my bro called my mom and said that he was ready to quit for good and he was asking for their help in getting him to a rehab facility. There was a facility in Colorado that would take him, and my parents bought last minute airfare for my bro and my dad to leave immediately.

He was there a few days, and we got a call from the facility that he had gotten into trouble for using the phone without permission. So my mom spoke to my bro and he said he had called his girlfriend (who is also addicted to heroin, of course) because prior to coming to my parents for help to get into rehab again, he had stolen money from her. My parents and my bro came to an agreement with the girlfriend, that my mom would pay her back what my brother stole and in return, she would sever ties with him because he was going to get clean. So my mom gave her a check for $600. She cashed it, it cleared. She called my bro at the rehab and he decided to leave the facility. He hitch-hiked home in two days time, went straight to Sara's house, and they spend the $600.

Second story: Just last night, my mom was cleaning the house and getting ready to host Thanksgiving dinner. For Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, we eat on the china and silver that my parents' received as a wedding gift over 30 years ago. But the silver wasn't in the box!! My mom confronted my brother about it, and he straight up confessed to selling it all for money to buy heroin about six months ago.

I'm pretty numb to the whole situation. I definitely hate being a part of this family right now, and it all can all be traced back to my brother's heroin addiction.
