I first tried Meth when I was 18, with my older brother. I thought it was awesome and continued to do it for 6 months or so when finally one day my pregnant wife decided she had had enough and left me. I called her and told her to come back and she did, and we both left California together. Since then, my brother, who I no longer think has a chance of making it, has 5 felony warrants and is on the run from the police. He is living in a trailer in Wal-Mart parking lots with my sister and his pregnant wife and child. They are currently stealing from the Wal-Marts in order to get by and taking out loans. They also pawned all their belongings. No one in the family will help them anymore. I try to email them sometimes to get my sister out... but it's not going to happen. I am waiting until he either kills his wife or child before people realize he has lost his mind.
