Zambroski Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 You’re a good brother, Tater. But even a better phaggut! Good for you and even BETTER for your bro! I hope he appreciates it now, but my guess is, he’ll really appreciate it later in life as he looks back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f7ben Posted November 9, 2017 Author Share Posted November 9, 2017 Thanks guys....those of you that know me know I'm not one for patting my own back and that isnt the point of this post at all so hopefully it didnt seem that way. Its just been a long road and its nice to vent a bit and get to talk about it for a minute....I told my brother I wouldnt talk to my parents at all about it until he gets to tell them himself. I am really looking forward to hearing from my dad. He is going to be ecstatic that his youngest has absolutely turned the corner and is on one hell of a path now.

You have to try though I agree, but it breaks your heart when you invest so much into helping someone and they screw you over. Realizing everything you went through was for nothing. A time comes when a enough is enough. Sister in-law is on the streets and nephew is back in jail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the way you have to look at that situation is that .....you did a good thing , that says a lot about you regardless of the end result. I could have thrown in the towel a few times and was very close but in the end my Brother is a really nice kid who wouldnt wrong anyone ever intentionally. That made it easier to deal with his idiocy. Most of his problem was how much he liked smoking dope and drinking beer......I have no issue with weed but it isnt an ideal drug for someone in the phase of life where motivation and a clear perception of ones situation are desperately needed.

Best of luck. Got to be a great feeling. My nephew is the same way. Great kid with a good heart. Just one stupid decision after another.

My brother has dragged my dumb ass out of the gutter , smacked me around and gotten me more than a few good jobs back in the day and I am forever grateful to him for that . Even if your bro doesn't show that and or fucks up again , he is grateful to you too , trust me . Again , good goin , my man .

Got a brother that everyone was always helping and giving the benefit of the doubt. Loaning him $ (myself included) He got himself into some trouble and ended up in jail (a couple of times) Parents bailed him out. Let him move in with them for almost 18 months. Turns around and tries to blame all his life's mistakes on my parents. Said a bunch of stuff to my mom that she didn't tell me about till after he was gone. Had I know what he said to her and how he threw his BS in their a faces, I would have sent him to the emergency room. He's lucky I never found him before he moved out east. Good job Bhent Had something similar happen with my oldest brother back last year. Long story short, he use to be in sales. Anyway, he was out of work for a while. Went back to school (luckily for them, my SIL works fir Magna International and makes great $) and was almost going to be a MSP officer. Failed one part of the physical portion (he fell during the running portion and he was disqualified) Couldn't re test fir another 6 months. He ended up working survalence/security for a couple years, but not much money in that. Anyway last June my name got pulled in the lottery for my work to get someone hired for part time , with full time employment in the future. He started 3 days a week back on Jan 9th Got hired on full time back in mid July. Wish I could have got him in years ago, but better late than never 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
