UPDATE 2/14/07
Both my parents stayed home today to take my cousin to REHAB. I am sure he will last a week and check out and be back to his old ways. This will be his third time going. I hope this works.

About my cousin my mom let move in to her house that has a drug problem and was beating his wife (who was a childhood friend and babysitter). Yeah lots has happen since that post. Way to much to post here everytime something happen. Lets just say Christmas wasn't fun. He was there and was all depressed and when his wife brought the baby over for him to spend time with her he just got mad with her because she was crying or was just acting like a 7 month old baby would. Well then my mom took the baby from him. Things have happen after that. Lots of bull Sh*t that my parents don't even like being at their own house because he is there and my mom didn't have the heart to kick him out. Well I get a phone call asking if I have seen or heard from him. I said no why what is wrong. HE WENT MISSING. Went on a two night beng spent every dime he had (my said his checking had 1,200.00 something bucks in it. Well spent it all in one night on hookers and drugs) Then comes home crying to my mom. She let him stay once again. I was pissed at this point. He clearly isn't going to change and you helping him isn't helping. My mom was going to take out a second mortgage to buy his truck from him because he was going to lose it because he hasn't made a payment. I got really bad about this. They wont even CO SIGN with me on my car. Well I just got another email from my mom, she said her and my aunt (her sister/ cousins mom) are sitting down tonight and talking because my mom will be asking my cousin to leave. Come to find out he went missing again. My mom didn't call to tell me because she knew I would get mad. Said that he went out got stoned and wrecked his truck. He drove his truck into some trees. His truck is so far in the trees they don't know how to get it out. So now my mom has had it and is kicking him out. Who knows where he is going to go. I don't know what to tell my mom I told her she couldn't be everyones savior. I feel better knowing he will be gone. My mom would go home and LOCK her self in her room so she wouldn't have to deal with him. That is really bad if you ask me. I just don't know what to think of him anymore. I am pissed to no end with him. Everyone has helped him (not me I wont take part in that, I dont have the money to help him everything he gets himself into trouble) and he owes so many people thousands of dollars. I am sorry I am ranting and I am just so pissed.

Anyone have a family member like this? When does it stop?

I had an uncle somewhat like this. He'd come to visit and end up spending a month at our house. Finally, my mom put her foot down. She came out looking like the bad guy to my uncle, but you can only enable people for so long. Sometimes tough love is the best kind. And since he has a child, it is long past the time where he needs to grow up!

Thats what I keep telling my mom he is in his 40s he needs to grow up and be a man. Says the stress of having a wife kid mortgage job blah blah blah is his reason for drugs.

That whole story screams redneck!

The whole time I was thinking -

If you are 40 years old, get stoned, live with your Aunt - you know you are a Redneck.

Hopefully he will get the idea and straighten up.

Lets hope he wakes up and realizes this soon. If not I am sure we will be getting a call to come id the body. I know its bad to say that but its true. When he went missing the first time I called down town to the morgue. The whole REDNECK thing is why I moved so far away. I am trying to get away from this shit. But yet it finds a way back to me.
