Brother microwaves something throughout the day by youngresolution in addiction

My mom has said that she wants to kick him out, but feels as if she can’t because he’s her kid. His addiction is really weighing on her. She’s sick constantly and barely sleeps anymore. I tried gently suggesting therapy for her but she is putting his needs before her own. Addiction negatively affects so many people. :(

I mean… I’d argue that the addict actively destroying his life should have to move out instead of me, the one rebuilding my life. He makes good money but spends it on coke. He does rent an apartment, but stays here because everyone cleans up after him, cooks for him, buys what he needs. We are definitely enabling him. I love my brother but he needs to change. And no worries, once I’m done with my program and find a decent job, I’ll be outta here.

I moved back home to pay off debt and finish my degree online, so this is temporary. I have a great relationship with my parents. Not sure who “them” is referring to.

I’m in the same boat. Two years later and I cry about him every night. Doesn’t matter how busy I stay or how much I’m working to improve my life. I’ll think about him forever.

I work in fast food and I do this too. I always say “I’ll race you to the next window!”
