Family Matters

It seems that I am unlucky in the sibling category. My mother's son-- that would also make him my brother, I suppose. Though we only share one parent and maybe that explains it. He has gone down the proverbial rabbit hole over the last year, though if I am to be completely honest, since he hit puberty. I wish I was the older sibling, that maybe i could have spotted his oncoming issues and had helped my family do something about it. Though if I am to be quite frank, I had my own trial and tribulations to deal with and he my brother was not on my mind as a "problem." I see the dark end approaching with him and I sure hope he finds his way to the light again. Otherwise I will have another chapter of my life close in a way I do not agree with.
