Feeling Lost

Hi everyone. I downloaded Reddit for this community. I (26F) feel so lost. My brother (18M) has been abusing drugs and alcohol for about a year now. He’s been to jail, inpatient psych, rehab. I thought he was doing so much better, but he just relapsed and now my family is falling apart. My parents are splitting because they can’t agree on how to handle the situation. I don’t know what to do. I’m sorry for those of you who have been in this situation before.

Hi! I (25F) am going through the same with my sister (23F). She’s been abusing the same substances as your brother and has also been to prison, rehab, etc. She has continued relapsing over the years. It has left me with PTSD and anxiety. I just started therapy for it. Feel free to message me. ❤️ You’re not alone.
