An Open Letter To My Brother

Warning: personal rant ahead. I am going to say exactly what I’m thinking without regard for my language, propriety or political correctness. If you think you may be easily offended, you might want to skip this one. Just because I have a toddler in my home doesn’t mean occasionally I don’t feel the need to have a good screaming obscenity rant. I

Wow. I just found your page yesterday and checked in to see if you had any new fanfics posted. Guess this wasn't it.

I'm sorry for what you must be going through and especially your brother's kids. I hope he sees he light and brings them home soonest.

There is a good book to read: The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker. I might help you. It would help him if he would/could read it.

Cherish your own little one and trust your brother will come home. He did once. Hopefully he will again.

I'm sorry.

I'll check the book out. Thank you for the referral. I'll look at anything at this point if it will help me understand what's going on or how to deal with it in a healthier way.

I pray he returns to us. Only my prayer is that he returns alive. I fear for the alternative.

Thank you for your thoughts. It means a lot.

It's hard thinking of something to say when you read something like this. From what I've read, I wish your brother gets to read this, it sounds like he needs it.

I understand wanting to get this all out. I have an uncle who got in with the wrong crowd and a little girl came out of it. She was obviously being abused but when my uncle tried to take her, the mom sent him to jail for seven years and he is never allowed to see his daughter. I'm sure my mom was thinking things very similar to you.

I hope everything works out and I'm glad you're trying to keep the faith that God will help. Stay strong, Jen! And know you will always have someone to talk/rant to if you need it.

Yes, Jen, my brother needs to read this. But he never will. But then again, I've been spewing my brand of armchair psychology and sisterly advice to him for over thirty years and he has yet to listen to much of it.

I have to trust that everything happens for a reason, even if I don't understand the reason at the moment.

I just needed to get all this off my chest so my muse would start talking again! She's been super stressed! Thanks for your support!

There's no chance in hell my brother will read this. The SIL has confiscated his cell phone, has complete control over their laptop and has been screening all the telephone calls. We do not even know where they are for sure.

What I've said here? It's only a small bit of the iceberg of this melodrama. I just needed to vent in a very big way before I went insane.

Thank you for your comment... knowing I have support with my eFriends means a lot... sometimes even more than having the people in real life ~ y'all know what to say more often than not, you don't try to fix the problem. You just listen. Which is what I need. An outlet.

My heart is breaking for you, Jen. I don't know what else to say.
