It is very hard for some to realize th...Hi Heidi, <br /><br />It is very hard for some to realize that we as siblings feel the loss of our addict as much as our parents. I know my mom especially didn't realize it until we started going to meetings and we all opened up about our pain. As close as we are as a family no one really understood the pain each one of us was feeling. Weird right? We always were afraid to talk about it. We lived in shame as much as he did. I am glad you found our blog and I hope you keep reading. We as siblings of addicts think that we need to stay strong for our parents sake when really we need a shoulder as much as they do. I too, am praying for your family and your brother. I started this blog not only to help my sister and I relieve some pain but to meet and have contact with others who have a sibling in addiction so we all know there are others who feel the same. Please feel free to email me anytime. Sistersofadrugaddict@gmail.com Hope to hear from you! <br />Thanks again for reading, <br />Heidisisters of a drug addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09666893987236817994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762683345943648089.post-50191762778225607362012-06-03T00:04:10.184-04:002012-06-03T00:04:10.184-04:00This is uncanny.

I just learned from my mom that my younger brother (who has been clean for six months) failed a drug test earlier this week and had to leave his treatment program - -and now, of course, hasn't been in touch for a few days. After crying for a bit, I decided to look at at "Dad and Mom" whose blog I often find helpful/encouraging and found a link to yours. Of course, your post immediately resonated -- and then I couldn't believe we had the same name! Especially since I at least know so few others with it. Anyway, know you are not alone -- and that I am praying for your whole family and most of all for your brother. And God hold all of us very close. -- Heidihgracec2https://www.blogger.com/profile/04180126223393970174noreply@blogger.com
