@gailcalled I know that sounds simple, but for us, time is always slipping through our fingers and it’s a struggling to talk to one another. Still, I’m going to make a greater effort to talk to my mum about this.
@ARE_you_kidding_me Thank you for saying that last part, I truly feel like I’m making a horrible deal out of nothing, but it just worries me. Also, my family does tend to take such things lightly, but I’m going to try and make time for my mum and I (and possibly my brother, if he’d be comfortable in talking about it) to talk about the problem, because it’s truly worrying me.
@marinelife To be honest, it’s easier said than done, but I’m working on persuading him. I imagine it’ll be smoother if I can talk to my mom about this though.
@Jeruba That’s true, circumstances can happen to anyone. I just never thought of my brother ever using drugs and the idea is foreign to me. I’ll keep this in mind however.
@livelaughlove21 This is true, if you wait too long, the chance to act passes you as well. I don’t want something horrible to happen to him because I second guessed myself. Thank you for you kind words.
@JLeslie He doesn’t seem to care too much about his weight, as long as he isn’t completely obese. I spoke to him about how I noticed he was getting thin, but he brushed me off, so I don’t know if this was him hiding something from me or he truly didn’t notice(he can be more than a little oblivious to the obvious, it’s worrisome sometimes). And contrary to your question, he really sleeps very little. Even if he says he’s tired, he’ll go to bed late and end up waking up early. And he doesn’t seem to be pessimistic, maybe a little sarcastic, but other than that, he’s positive most of the time.
