suckage

[Sesshomaru]

F*ck my sonofab*tch father. He is a coward, the most spineless and lowliest thing that has ever walked the face of this earth.

Through his extreme mentally and physically abusive parenting "style", he managed to produce two children out of seven that are in mental hospitals, both for committing heinous crimes. Now he is in charge of the schizophrenic, and through his stupifying cowardice, that son has almost been recommitted twice.

All he has to do is to give him his medicine everyday. He is such a coward that he can't face his son to make sure he takes his medicine. So my brother was getting crazy again, and the social worker wanted to recommit him. I personally promised to come over and make him take his medicine everyday, and it got better. It's very painful, because my brother loathes me when I make him take it.

I go phoenix for two weeks, I told my father to make sure he gets his medicine, and get help from my two older brothers if he needs help. I'm back, and my brother is acting erratic again.

That sonofab*tch has the nerve to tell me he's acting weird, you need to make him take his medicine.

If he's off his medicine, he will eventually get crazy enough to kill. I kid you not. And this stupid b*atch refuses to grow balls and GIVE HIM HIS ****IN MEDICINE.

Ouch. :(

sounds like some intervention is needed. your father is not capable of helping because he may have his own issues.
i would talk to the social worker pronto, and tell him/her why your brother is not taking his meds properly and get some advice on what action you can take. if he needs to be recommitted then how can your father stop that?

do you think your father has mental health issues, too? that could be why he isn't coping with the situation as he should.

How old is your brother? Sounds to me like your father needs some help as well. I suggest if your brother is younger than 18 you call in Child Protective Services to help him out, especially if your father is abusive in anyway. Sorry to hear of your situation. Hope you find a way to make it better.

It's ok now that I'm home, I make him take the medicine.

Trust me, my father does NOT suffer from mental problems, unless u think greed, stupidity and cowardice are mental problems. His idea of making sure my brother takes his medicine is to go to his room, tell him to take his medicine, and leave. My brother ignores him. My father knows this, but he can't work up the courage to stand there and make him take it, even for only two weeks. He can't do it even though it is ABSOLUTELY necessary for my brother's survival.

So let me recap. My father would rather watch my brother slowly slid into a mental oblivion, than to confront my brother about taking his medicine. Right now, he has nothing to fear from my brother physically, because it takes awhile for him to get that crazy.

Most parents would die to protect their children. My father only has to make sure my brother takes his medicine, and he can't even do that.

Everythings ok now, I just had to get this off my chest.

BTW Oblongmelon, my brother is 35, and we're all grown up now, so the abuse ceased long ago.

yeh, greed, stupidity and cowardice are mental problems, but it's hard to help someone who won't help themselves.

sorry you are in such a situation Sesshomaru. i hope things improve.

Your father obviously isn't up to the job. Yes, your father has mental issues. Maybe they're not the type that get people committed, but from what you say, he has serious problems. So why leave your sick brother with a caretaker who can't even make sure he does something as simple as take medicine?

[Sesshomaru]

We now realize my father is not up to the job, that's why I have taken personal responsibility to make sure he takes his medicine. I am the youngest, and it's not fair, but my other two older brothers will not take him into their households (not a chance in hell). I run three businesses so I can't take care of him full time.

I can, however, rail about my father's insipid stupidity and selfishness. I mean, he PROMISED me that he could do it for two weeks, but god damn me, he couldn't. I cry in frustration everytime I think about how simple the solution is.

In the end, my father is his legal guardian, and he's the only one that can make decisions for him. I just don't my my brother to have to go back to the nut house.
