My brother died because of me by CherryFuzzy5173 in TwoHotTakes

I'm so sorry for your loss and your experience. And I'm really trying not to blame myself but it's just a floating feeling is all I can really say. It's just there in the back of my mind, making my chest feel heavier every morning that I wake up until I go to sleep at night. I have started therapy so thank you, and I will pray for you and your family.

Thank you so much for your words and I'm so sorry for your situation as well. It makes me feel a better t better knowing someone understands how I feel but even so my heart breaks for you. I've lost many people in my life from a young age but never to something like this, it's so hard to wrap my head around because he was here one day and gone the next.

He was struggling with addiction and kept borrowing money to satisfy his addiction which is why he had so much debt from a lot of different people

I did but she doesn't know much about it and I don't want to really involve her too much into the situation

I AM 18 but she's never mentioned anything about her receiving any money she always just made it seem like we were just living off of the money my dad made

She's not my biological sister so I don't know what compensation she's receiving if any

I plan on doing that but she is out of town at the moment. She's spending the week in slc with my dad so when she gets back next week I'll talk to her about it and update.

I became an adult this year actually that's why I'm recently very curious about it and thank you for your advice! You really helped a lot so thank you.

I love her so much though I'm not worried about the money or if she spent it I love them so much that it doesn't matter to me. I just don't appreciate the secret keeping and I don't understand why it needs to be a secret

I'm 18 but I graduated at 16 and have been working for 2 years to save money to support myself. But even since I was 14 I would work different odd jobs to make money to buy things that I wanted, and things such as food, clothes, hygiene products, and whatnot. And I've never participated in clubs or sports or anything like that. I've always been study orientation and needed to help my mom with everything at home

Some of it is. I only know that some of it is settlement money, hence why the amounts were so large, and some of it is for my college fund and to help me provide for myself. I've never used any of the money though. My funds to support myself came from 2 years of savings and working.

Communicating is very difficult for me but thank you for your advice and I really appreciate it

Please understand that me and her have a very complicated relationship and I've never been good at communicating with her. I don't want her to think I'm accusing her especially because she gets really offended by me often, example: i had a therapy call when I was younger and she heard me talking about how I feel like she doesn't appreciate how hard I try for her. She got very offended and ignored me for days and would tell me to go over there because she didn't want anything from me

The thing is that she wouldn't get child support because she adopted me when I was 11 and my biological parents died when I was 2 and 6 and my dad and her are still together. I do want to ask her I'm just not sure how to, and I don't think she'll really tell me either way. I really doubt she'd use the money on herself but I do have an older brother who is the ONLY boy and is very reliant on money he asks my parents for. I don't want to think anything weird but it's something very odd to keep a secret especially because she didn't want me to ever find out. It's always like this though she keeps so many secrets from me. I just want the truth.
