T&P Request

For DH's brother.  He is in a bad place mentally/emotionally right now. 

To make a long story short, DH's parents got divorced when DH was a senior in high school.  DH seemed to survive ok because he left shortly after for college and was able to deal on his own.  DH's brother and sister though were left at home with the carnage and deal with DH's psychotic father.  DH's bro habors a lot of anger from everything that happened and has battled depression off and on.

His bro was doing well but then last year he got his gf pregnant.  She went and had an abortion without telling him and he took it really hard.  He fell back into a bad mental state.  We all though he had recovered but I guess the old gf has been trying to contact him and it's bringing back a lot of emotions.  He is at college about 2 hours away and called DH's mom to come stay with him for a while.  He wants her to come take his guns away from him.  Not so much for self-harming reason but that he might harm someone else.  She is taking him today she see a psychiatrist that specializes in anger and depression.  She is going to try to get him through this last month of school so he passes. 

Any T&P's you could spare for him would be much appreciated.  He really is a great kid!

Re: T&P Request

  • Oh wow.  Lots of thoughts and prayers and healthy mental vibes to your family.  How old is he?
  • How awful.  I hope he can get some help through counseling.  T&P his way.

    Thanks!  He is 25.  He started college right out of high school and then dropped out.  He went back about 2 years ago.

  • T&P to him and your family. And yes, I'm glad too that he asked for help.
  • Hope he gets the help he needs and gets better soon.
  • T&p definitely. It takes a big man to admit he needs help BEFORE. Kudos to him for not repeating a vicious cycle.

  • That is a sad story... I will send tons of T&P that this helps or something helps him! I'm glad that he realizes he needs to do something an called DH's mom at least.    I'm very sorry!
  • Lots of T&P... and ditto Rachel - it does take a big person to admit they need help before sh!t hits the fan, so to speak. I hope he finds the help he needs.
  • Thanks Ladies. I agree it takes a lot to ask for help in these situations. MIL is suppose to call DH tonight or tomorrow and let him know how the meeting with the psychiatrist went.
