Answer 1

Laura, just stay in contact with your little brother, let him know that no matter what happens you will always love him. I lived in foster homes most of my life, most weren't to bad. You're little brother should feel safe with this family, what they are doing is a blessing. They will more than likely have a very positive impact on his life. Just stay in contact. I have one brother that I have stayed in contact with now for 51 years, we talk all the time. We grew up under different circumstances since I was the age of 11, but we remain close. The best to you and your little brother
If you are under age you can contact the girls and boys town and request that the two of you be placed together. Here is the toll free number where you can chat with people that can help you out 1-800-448-3000

Answer 2

That's so hard.
You seem to be very sensitive and wise about wanting the best for your brother. I'm sorry that you have had to go through all of this. I'm glad he's in a good place.
It may be okay to tell him that your mom and dad are in need of help. Make sure he knows that he is loved and will grow up to be strong. Your parents' behavior is not yours or your brothers' behavior. You will learn from their bad example to be better parents and to stay away from drugs. Your parents gave you that at least - an example of how not to get into trouble and lose your children.

All the best to you!

Answer 3

Hi If your brother is safe and seems happy then he is.It is best he gets out of a bad home life.If he is saying I want to be with mom and dad just tell him they are having problems and can not take care of him now.Be glad he is not in the court system and he is with friends.He could be with strangers that he does not know.Just keep an eye on him.Maybe someday you can get your life together and he can live with you but until then if he is in a safe and loving home be glad for him.God bless

Answer 4

I'm glad that you love and want to help your little brother, and I'm sorry for your family circumstances.

Instead of telling him why there are bad parents, you should be there for him. Spend time with him and let him know that you care. Let him know that he does have family who love him, even if your parents have let you both down. Acknowledge your own sadness and anger if the two of you are discussing your family situation. Let him know that his feelings are okay.

If he asks why your parents put you all in this situation, it would be okay to say, "I don't know." Let him know that when people choose to use drugs, they make a lot of bad choices. Help him to make better choices.

Good luck to you and your family.

Answer 5

Dont say nothing positive or negative about your parents, focus on telling him you love him and will try to do what you can to get you on your feet and then help him. If hes old enough to be asking questions say your parents are both sick and cant take care of him or themselves until they get better. You dont have family members that could take him in?

Answer 6

Just keep calling and letting him know how much you love and miss him. Try to pick him up occasionally and go somewhere like family would. If you can, try to save enough money that he can come to stay with you. The main thing is to keep reassuring him of how much he is loved, and that he is better of than being with his parents.

Answer 7

1 yr olds have friends?

???

?????

who would take a 1 yr old in....just randomly

Anyways, yea it sucks for him, but maybe you should focus on your life a bit so you can help him later. This seems really hard to remedy seeing as how the parents are druggies. Help him when you're solid. You can do more then

But don't take my word for solid, i'm just throwing out an idea

Answer 8

Have you informed social services about what your parents have done? They sure don't care about you guys. If you're in B.C. get in touch with B.C. Housing or a housing co-op. Get help and some piece of mind. Hope things work out for you. Too much stress for someone as young as you.

Answer 9

all of them have fairly some violence in them, although, the wonderful 4/upward push of the silver surfer are the exception in my eyes at that is not as picture with the aid of fact the others and could be observed much less complicated than Thor (additionally an surprising movie I could say) so out of all of those for a 9 twelve months previous i think of he might thoroughly appreciate the wonderful 4/upward push of the silver Surfer the main.

Answer 10

is there any way he can stay with you? i don't know how old your brother is, but i can't imagine this being healthy for him. it'd be better if he could, at least, have his big sis around. good luck to you. sorry about the situation.
