So tired, feel like crying and scared,
Warning post contains graphic words, violence and more.
My brother and I were homeschooled. My brother since kindergarden, I after finishing 3rd grade. Unfortunately my moms homeschooling idea was to just leave us to figure out everything ourselves. My brother has a lot of anger from this. Me? I think I do but mostly I just feel exhasted when thinking about it.
He recently found out a surgery he needs isn't covered by insurance. So his depression has worsten. He said he wants to kill the people who made homeschooling legal. Why? Because it screwed us. He did get his GED but the only jobs he can find are manual labor since everything else needs a collage degree. Which he feels it is to late to go for now. (passed his twenties but not in fourties) The way he kept saying he wants to kill them to make consequences to show how bad homeschooling screwed his life up, scared me. I really don't know what to do. He has talked about suicide before and brought it up again saying his life is over anyway.
He can't run anymore and can't afford the surgery. I can barely even help myself. And don't know how to help him. He is finally in therapy but the anger in his voice. I love him so much and just don't want him doing anything stupid. He lives with other family members right now and not in the same state as me. The therapist suggested getting a lawyer for disability and to sue his work place since his injury appeared there. But his work place said it happened during his personal time. I hate not knowing how to help him. My own therapist once told me I need to just let him go. Great now I'm crying. I feel so bad for him. He was such a bright, energy given child. He is still very smart but won't or can't figure out how to use it for his own good.
I'm not sure if I should contact who he stays with or not. Its hard for me to tell if he is being serious or blowing off steam. As that is how he always used to blow off steam.
Feel free to ask any questions and I'll try to answer them. I won't give exact age/location for safety reasons. I'm just so tired of failing to help him.
@ShellyZz 🙁 I'm so sorry sweetie 😥 hearing your brother's anger must be terrifying for you🙁 let's hope and pray he's just blowing of steam. Are you worried that contacting the family he is living with, might effect his trust towards you?? I never had a family, and I've never went to school, I luckily had a teacher a few years ago for a little while and she taught me all the basics like how to use a computer and stuff. So yeah I know how hard it can be to get through life like this🙁 I'm sorry it happened to you aswell. Hugs you tightly ❤ your not alone in this ❤
@Tinywhisper11 Yeah I'm worried about lossing his trust. I'm thinking he was just blowing off steam. I was so upset I forgot he's said similar things in the past. I'm feeling better today, got to talk to my therapist to get it out some.
Thank you for the hug!
@ShellyZz you don't want to loose his trust, let's just pray it was blowing of steam ❤❤ I'm glad you got to talk to your therapist ❤❤ just know you are trying your best, and you are a great sister to him, he's lucky to have you ❤
