Holidays
Okay, so we all celebrate the Holidays whether or not it's Christmas or Hanukah, whatever it is, we all have our celebrations.
Now what we do for the Holidays is get together as a family (if at all possible, we all gather in the Valley) When this happens you just get to spend a few days with family, kids, parents, old friends etc. I have always loved doing this, it is really the only "real" time that I get to spend with my family because I don't live near them, I have family in Lubbock, Oklahoma, and In the Rio Grande Valley each of which are about an equal distance away from Austin.
My only problem with this Christmas is that I received some rather bothersome news, that is that my nephew who is 19 years of age has been using "Speed pills" I just found this out yesterday and it has been bothering me. I really don't know what to do. My feelings are all over the place right now, I feel like being mad, crying, yelling, throwing stuff, slapping my nephew and just saying "what the Fuck is your problem".
Most people don't think that this is such a big deal, but my family has lost family member to drugs before and it kills me to have to see this, have to see the pain and suffering that my family goes through when it does happen, to see a loved die to something so STUPID!!
At this point I don't know what to do, my sister called me yesterday to inform me of this and I could not believe what she was saying. My heart just dropped! You see I'm 22 years old only 3 years older then he and we grew up together and what upsets me the most is that I'm in Austin and I can't help him, I can't do a damn thing to see why or what drove him to this and help him get out of this habit that could cost him his life. I try to come up with ways to help see him through this and at the end I just really want to slap him. But you know just a few months back my niece who is 19 years old as well took off with her boyfriend, an abusive one, and we followed a similar track, how do we help her get out of this, what can we do to make her come back, where can realize that there is more to life than a boyfriend that takes advantage and abuses her. Well with her we did what we could, but she sort of just fell out of it alone, she learned to deal with it on her own and left when she thought it was best. But what I see different here is that with her, we knew she would realize it, we just prayed it was sooner than later, and yet with my nephew this isn't just leave it and let him find his way out, this is an addiction that he needs to be helped out of.
I'm sitting here at working crying and trying to stay composed and it's just to difficult, I just want to cry and throw things, just let it all out and I can't, I just can't let it go
SO I ASK YOU, WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP MY NEPHEW?
