Help!!!!!! Anyone HELP!!!!!!!!!!
I have a problem well my 15 year old brother has been getting in to a lot of trouble lately. He was in trouble in 8th grade for truancy then over the summer he got in trouble for possetion of weed, and had to go to court and was put on probation .After that he moved in with me and my family and was doing good but he had a out burst and broke some things and tore up the room that we had for him so we decided that he needed to go because we did not want that to happen again nor did we want our boy’s to see it again once was to much. So today I went to my dads to say HI and tell him that I might be able to get my brother a job working with me if he stays clean. Then I found out that my brother was caught by my dad two other times. So my dad and mom sat down with him and “TALKED†to him that was a week or so ago. Well when I was there with my boys my older one wanted to go in his room and play his video game so me and my dad and the boys went in to my brothers room and my dad started picking stuff up and found a match book and in side it was full of pot seeds. Then we started looking around in his room and found an altoids tin with weed in it and a pipe and a bowl and some other different types of pipes. A bag of stems and some burnt papers and lighters then a book that he cut out the middle of it and stored tweezers and aluminum foil and empty baggies. So I told my dad to call the police I kept telling him the more that we found but he kept throwing it away. I kept getting it out and then I told him if you don’t call I will and said are you he gave me no answer so I called. Now both of my parents are mad at me and think that I should have just stayed out of it and left it alone and that it was not a big deal and that I should have let it got and let boys be boys and kids be kids. I guess that I am now doubting my self on what I did was right. I really don’t know know I thought it was the best thing to do He needs help be for it gets really out of control. But my parents think that it is no big deal. What do I do? I am torn I thought it was the best thing to do was it not? Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What should I do know?
I really think you did the right thing. I think your parents didn't want him in any more trouble with the law, so that is why they are upset with you. Know in your heart you did the right thing and are helping him. Your family will come around, and when they do they will realize that you did the right thing and what was best for your brother. You guys just kept finding more and more, if it was something small, that might have been different, but he seemed to have it all. Just let them come around and everything should get back to normal around there. I'm sorry this happened to you and your family. Please keep your head up. All my best to you. Love and hugs.
