Some of you know my story... My brother was in for a 5 year stunt.. I moved to Oregon, we lost contact, we then reconnected, but not for long.. His mind was still on the same stuff he went in for, so I had to cut off contact.. Well he was in the same prison as my honey before my honey was moved, and kept tabs on me and my mom through him.. I got a letter in January telling me he would be home in 3 days.. so He went home on January 10th.. He was going back to his ex girlfriend who didn't wait for him until he had 6 months left.. Another girl held him down while he was in, now he has lost contact with her.. :angry: So anyways he moved back to the neighborhood he lived in... and I know he hasn't learned anything.. In the letter he sent me he wanted me to write him or call him, I haven't done neither.. I dunno what to say.. I'm so angry with him for falling into the same lifestyle, he hasn't learned anything.. I'm supposed to be going back to Ohio (where were from) in March, but I dunno if I wanna see him.. He just makes me so angry.. I just need some advice.. what would you all do ????

Thanks for listening..

Hi TeRe- I think there are a lot of us here that have that fear of our loved ones coming out of prison without having learned anything positive. I can certainly understand how angry you must be feeling but if it were me I would definitely write to him and tell him exactly what I thought. I would also see him if I had the chance- maybe just the once but then you wouldn't have any regrets later. You never know -something you say could have an impact on him and make him start thinking-perhaps he might finally realize there are people who really care about his future. Let us know what you decide.

My brother has a LONG time to go before he comes home, and I am still very fearful. I would have to agree with DLM on seeing him though. Regardless of hurt and anger, he is still your brother. :-) I am sure he would be really happy to see you.

Thanks for your replies, DLM and Kevin's Sis.. I think I am going to call him... He doesn't know we moved yet, so I'm going to wait for him to get our address, I just don't trust him completely yet.. But I am going to call.. After the phone call, I will make my decision on whether or not I want to see him.. I know he really wants to see his neice and she is going there with me in June, so maybe I will see him in March and if it's alright, I'll let her see him in June.. I just don't want to subject her to him if he is still in the same lifestyle..

I appreciate your comments!!!! Thank you
