I just dont understand it. He puts himself and us through all this pain and suffering. I can not make him get help and its so frustrating. Shame on my family for thinking everything was okay and he would not relapse. Understanding the Addict is very hard for me. Does anyone know some good books to help me? I want to help my brother and the way I am doing it...its not working. Letting him go as my parents say just doesnt seem right. I am not giving up hope even though some days it would seem easier.
