Hello guys, we all know that our family is all that matters to us! So whatever problems that we have, whether it has something to do with our own self or life or something about any member of our family, we are always affected by that. My brother is now being out of control. He is now addicted to some drugs and activities and my parents were very worried about him and my dad is trying to punish him by sending him out of town. I want to help him so that my parents especially my mom can stop from being too worried. help please.
thanks

sorry for what you are going through girlthing,
first of all your brother has to be willing to change he has to acknowledge that he has a problem and that he needs help. because you cant force him to change, forcing will only drive him deep into this problem.
I recommend counseling from family and a qualified person, so as to get him to accept that he has a problem and he needs help.
After this is accomplished you check him in in a rehab facility for treatment and when he is through with rehab he will be as good as new.
The secret is that he has to be willing to get help it has to come from his heart without being forced or punishment.
Wish you all the best.

You know its not easy for parents to send their child away, especially for cases like you have. They tend to be protective and even some parents would ignore the situation just to keep their child with them. However, it may be better to bring him to a rehabilitation center where he gets proper guidance on how to cope with his addiction. That's what i suggest you can do for now -- looking for a good rehab center to take him.
