Im starting to think I did the right thing getting him out of there on Sunday. My mother just called. During the conversation she admitted that he had her cornered again.

Barbara,


You did what you thought was best for you mother, and you were right. She needed protecting even if she didn't admit it to you at the time.


Much Love,

(((((Barbara))))))  Moms always want to protect their childen.  You and I have something in common, in that we instinctly know when our "Mom" needs us to protect them. I see it as a blessing if we can help someone in this way ... and its that    someone    that did the same for us when we needed it most. When I / we are growing up...moving out the first time...getting married...having children and   *Today.  (tellin us what they think is best for us, a way of the parent  protecting us too isnt it?)   grinin'


I'm sure it was very hard for her, ((Mom,)) at the moment  to even think  she couldn't protect herself,    (or brother from himself  or  Me (you)  (the daughter) ) from knowing of / from being actively involved the situation occuring when and as it did.


Just really wanted to say to YOU, You are not alone.  I feel your pain, the frustration too.  I have been in 'them there / "those shoes"  too.(Really. Different situation but wayyyy to similiar.)  So glad I can take off those shoes and put on my slippers and rest. If just ever now and then. LOL   *Selfcare.


You are a wonderful loving person. Trusted your instincts and did the right thing in this situatiion. I pray I, nor you,  will not have to continue being faced with brothers adversities that he's so clearly brought on his life. I pray he finds his way back through a program such as NA or AA (even the wonderful) Alanon at some pont so as to have some peace in his life.


I , and you too,   know we all     as loving human beings     are worth it    and  deserve it. 


(((BRABRA)))    Keep Looking UP!!
