Eight days ago my brother was releasaed from prison. Don't know that he will make it. He now lives in Phoenix, with his wife and her kids.

When she came up in January for my mothers funeral, I didn't think she was clean. We all used to get high together, so we all hung around the same places and faces. In fact she asked me to drive her to a former aquintances house (you know the scene, stuff all over the yard...typical tweeker house). I guess she must have thought I wouldn't notice.

Anyway, when I talked to my father yesterday, it seems as though they are already having problems. The fighting, hitting and screaming. I myself having been down this path, know that there is nothing I can do for him. But I kind of feel responsible because I didn't tell him about the events in January. I am worried, he has been a needle user for about 12 years. He has already been in prison 2 times both felony drug convictions. Next time he goes for a long time, probably the rest of his life.

My question is do I try to get him to get away from her? Or do I just mind my own business? it has been a while since I have been the loved one of an addict. My life has been so quiet, and I don't know how to act, or what to do. I would hate to see him throw his clean time away for something he has already tried and clearly didn't work.

Thanks,
Melinda
