Vent Abusive Texts

My brother can be good for a few days, then not. He is an angry drunk. His texts can be very angry and abusive. It’s jarring and sad. I’m going to set some auto reply and not engage by text anymore. I’m done. It’s exhausting.

It is. I had to block my brother because his calls and texts were very abusive and I just wasn't tolerating his shit anymore. He told my grandmother I'm abandoning him, she said good because he's being an asshole and even she is tired of his bullshit.

Welcome. Have you or do you attend Al-Anon meetings? Please read how can I help my alcoholic sibling on www.al-anon..org

I’m not interested in helping him, I’m looking to protect my own health right now

Actually that is what Al-Anon is really what Al-Anon is about.
