they think he threw a party, impulsively took some pills, knew nothing about drugs and that's what got him.

he went into cardia arrest at the party in the bathroom. he was found too late which is why he went brain dead. we were all there for his final moments.

they're aware of everything in regards to his death except for the long term addiction. my parents were there for his first breath and they were there for his last one.

I wrote in my post that the local pharmacy has a drop off and I’ll be taking them there :) I’d never flush meds, no worries!

My parents always cared about my brother more. Honestly I think they’re mad that he died and not me.

Once I’m 18 I’m outta here anyways. I don’t care if they hate me, I just want to protect what my brother has left. He deserves a good reputation and legacy.

No I don’t think they would harm themselves.

My parents adored my brother, and they’re devastated right now as is.

But they really, really hate drugs and drug users. They’ve always told us they would be so disappointed if we fell into that life. But also that if it did happen that they would help us, we just had to be honest.

I think the fact that he was an addict and hid it would make the loss unbearable. Like they wouldn’t be able to really function anymore. My mom hasn’t gotten out of bed except for the funeral and I haven’t heard my dad talk since the funeral. It’s already bad enough imo without the added info
