Lately, I have been dealing with a lot of stress and worry. A family close to me is falling apart, and I am about to make it worse. My older brother DW is also dealing with a lot of stress and worry. The difference is, it is his family that is falling apart.
I cannot recall if I have blogged about his family issues or personal issues, so I will give a brief summary: Last summer, DW and his girlfriend at the time, we'll call her Slutface--no, that isn't professional. How about Ink? Yes, Ink. Okay, so DW and Ink got into a domestic dispute, due to her recent relapse into addiction. Police were involved, and DW was taken away. After that, he stayed with my mother (and me, later). The couple officially broke up, and DW started taking his son several times a month. We had many problems, but we put up with them to help my brother better his situation. During this time, we saw Ink spiral steadily downward into an abyss of drugs, partying, and illness. We tried to convince DW that he should report her behavior for the sake of my nephew, Little Kub, but he was still blinded by his feelings for her and did nothing.
Last week DW entered a place where he could get help for his issues. He is very happy now, and I believe this is a fresh start for him.
Yesterday we found out that Ink was reported by someone else for her disgusting housecleaning (or lack thereof) habits. Upon hearing this, DW was hopeful that something would be done. I will be helping the cause, for Kub's sake. I only want what is best for him, whatever the consequences.
Little Kub is coming to spend the night with us this weekend, so we will see what kind of condition he is in, and go from there. I really hope this little boy will have a happy ending.
