its not good to throw your brother out, he needs a lot of encouragement, love, and hugs, he doesn't know what else to do to kill his pain, I am not for anyone drinking, but a lot of people do that to forget their fears, but it always comes back after they are sober, please hug your brother a lot, not when he is drunk. Because drunk people can't think straight. When he is sober, don't yell at him, hug him, hold him, reach out your arms to him, like you would be Jesus Christ, tell him we will help each other get through this together, tell him you are not alone, I won't leave you alone, I'm here for you, never turn anyone away, in this family problem, never yell at each other, don't follow the path your parents did, hold onto each other, I know the feeling of being afraid, but I didn't drink because I was only 6 years old when my dad walked out the door and drove away like I was a ghost. I chased after him, until my little legs couldn't run anymore, I fell and skinned my knees, there was no one there for me. I didn't know Jesus took my hand to help me up. I was scared forever. I have already been married twice to two abusive men, no longer am I with a man, I stay alone with my son and I got myself a dog, I raised 6 children. They 5 of them moved out on their own. I have decided to not be in a relationship with any man, because I don't know how, I was never taught by my dad. I was only taught that when two people get a divorce, my spirit died. I got numb and have never been the same. Visiting dad and mom in different states is very hard for me. It traumatized me, I went into shock. I know what your brother feels... it hurts... it hurts very much. Some of us blame ourselves, we think if we would have tried harder we can keep our parents together, with prayer in the family, yes the family will always break apart. I really hope your parents can work on their marriage getting together with the Lord. But if it was a domestic violence problem, and you all weren't safe, then you need to go to classes, you, your mom, your brother, and talk to a minister in a family group section to talk out your feelings, never yell at each other, or get mad, because you never know when it is our last day here. Please I pray in Jesus' name, amen, that you sit with your brother, make friends with him, don't hold a grudge against him, he needs you, and he's in shock now, put yourself in his shoes for once, and try to understand. Try to love him, he needs a lot of love. Don't ever give up on your brother, he's your brother, God gave him to you as a gift, you are supposed to support him, in time of trouble, he might get mad and yell. Guys are different than us girls. But you must think to yourself, if he was my little boy, what would I do, would I get rid of my own son? No, you wouldn't, know matter how old any of us get, we need LOVE........LOVE HIM TO MUCH....SHOW LOVE TO HIM, PLEASE, IN JESUS' NAME AMEN..... LOVE ###
