Siblings

I heard in a movie once, you don't turn your back on family, even if they do. How long and how many times do you go through the same shit with them. Twenty or thirty times of you trying to get them out of trouble? But how much is to much when a needle and their drug of choice has them by the throat. Or what about how many times they have been to prison? That same old story they tell you while they are in there. I'll never do that again and I will stay clean when I get out. But it's all a lie and it is every time they tell it. My last straw with two of my brothers came after I got them early parole, a place to live and a job where I was working at the time. We don't speak any more and they are both back on the needle. I have six siblings and I only talk to my brother Todd. He was smart like me and moved out of state, away from the rest of them. I hope it's different for you with your siblings. Just remember to love the ones you can, while you can.
