I am totally new to this and am looking for advice. My younger brother is a heroine addict and has been for many years. He
He has relapsed again and has been calling me over the past 3 days constantly begging and pleading for me to pick up the phone. I know the he is going to ask for money. I am the executor of my Mom's will and Keith still has a bulk of his inheritance, I have been trying to avoid giving it to him. My question is. Should I continue to avoid his persistent calls which I am afraid will turn threatening if I do not answer, or answer and refuse the money. My concern is is ability to manipulate me.
Wondering if I do answer the phone if there is some sort of script or Montra I could follow or if it truly is best to not answer. The phone at all. It is so very hard to listen to his pleas ,I hate for him to feel abandoned. Thank you in advance for your help.
Suzanne- I am also super new at this. But I thought maybe some support from someone who is going through something similar might help???my younger brother is also a heroin addict. On Wednesday my mom had to call 911 after he was unresponsive with a spoon by his side on the bathroom floor. He won't speak to my mom, blames everyone else for "over reacting" while they were only trying to save his life. After leaving the house when he chose drugs over treatment, we are all feeling lost. He won't talk to my mom so he started texting me. Trying to push everything on everyone else but not taking any action for help. What I have been reading is you can't feed the addiction. So I just texted him was I couldn't stand by and watch him destroy his life, when he was really ready to get help I'd be there. Keep the answers short if necessary and stick to your guns. In any event, I am praying for you and knowing your not the only one has helped me. â¤ï¸Amber
