I deleted this post b/c maybe it sounded like I was "happy" to drop "P" when he needed me but I was not happy to have done it.
I refused to help him b/c he is a drinker, drugger, a user who refuses to get help, but wants everyone to help him and then disappears from their lives until he is in trouble and needs them again and I am done with it..
I warned him that he would "go to the well" to many times w/me , so all I did was stand by my warning to him.

(((Neshema))) It's okay to back away when you're convinced that it's not you that can help and are being honest that you lack the time ability and facility. When you don't have the tools turn him over. Nice avatar!! Is that pony yours?...HP does good work.
(((Jerry))) Hi...No, used to have a Quarter Horse like him, had horses all my life and raised them, bred them, trained them broke them....I use that avatar as my "dream vision" to have another horse...imagry and visioning my dream coming back to me.....Thanks for your encouragment....I cannot help my brother "P"...and I do lack the time, ability and the strength anymore...I have ptsd and anxiety...i have to pick my battles and if it is a losing proposition, I must turn them over to their maker and let it go........his creator within him , if he openes up to it, must help him now....I can't....AND I am tired of him treating me like I am a non entity when he is not trying to use me.........I only have the tools to help me and the ones who DO want my help or assistance......Thanks Jerry....LOVE your flower....What kind is that??? sooo beautiful and peaceful to look at.....
