Down the Rabbit Hole

Michael

I've been torn about something for weeks now, and it haunts me with each RVSP that comes back to me and the noteable absence of any belonging to my baby brother. There won't be a return of course, because I never sent him an invitation. There lies the source of my unrest. My brother is an addict. I have finally managed to accept that knowledge with a certainty that pains me deeply. He is still my brother though, and I am having a very hard time imagining that day without him. Michael has been manipulative and selfish, he's been indignant and disrespectful, he's made horrible decisions and has hurt his family and himself repeatedly..but, and I keep coming back to this, he's still my brother and someone I care most about in the world. Can I really have this life-changing moment without his witnessing it?
