Samantha16 Posted June 14, 2004 Posted June 14, 2004 My brother left his girlfriend of 2 years on Saturday. He's 23 and she's 25. She has two kids (4 and 9) from two other guys, so it's hard on my brother because he's become really attached to them, and he's their father figure. They went to a bar and she got really drunk and started a fight with him and wouldn't let him stay at her house (this is the first time in 2 years my brother actually came home from a fight they had). But he had her apartment keys when she left (she forgot to take them). So my brother gave them to her friend and told her to drop them off. He must have went to an after party because he wasn't home at 2 and 3 in the morning when his gf was calling OUR house from her cell. (I was at my bf's that night). But she was talking to my parents saying that she called the cops on my brother for stealing her keys, and she'll bring him to court and stuff. (for what, we don't know, she's just weird). She kept calling back and eventually my parents unplugged the phone on her. But she left about 6 messeges, making up stories about my brother to make him look bad. Starting rhumors that he's on drugs, and lots of personal things that they wouldn't tell me about. My brother does drink on occasion, and has done stupid stuff like every young person, but this girl is crazy! She's a nasty drunk and a redneck person even when she's sober. Now she's bringing our family into their personal life, why? Because she's crazy. I honestly feel bad for her kids. She puts on a face when she around us that she's such a great gf, and the best mother in the world, but I know she's not. Everyone who knows of her has only bad things to say about her. And this isn't the first time she's made a drunken scene for my family. She's an embarrassment, and nobody want her around. But it comes down to my brother. He picked up all his stuff from her house on Saturday, but lastnight he went to her place 'to talk' and he says they still have things to talk about. (to me that means they might get back together, but I think he's embarrassed to say he's going back after all that's happened.) But For as long as he's with her, I'll be nice and treat her with resepect, but I'll only do it for my brother. My parents on the other hand want nothing more to do with her, they don't want to have her around at all. They have zero respect for her. Why must it turn out to be a broken home? And when will my brother get his head out of the clouds? I hope this doesn't all revolve around the kids. It must be hard for him to leave because this is his first serious relationship, and we all know how hard it is to see clearly when it comes to first loves. (Or what we think is love).
moimeme Posted June 15, 2004 Posted June 15, 2004 Be supportive of your brother, no matter what happens. It is not time to desert people when they are in trouble. Do what you can for the kids, too. If you befriend this woman, you might be able to help her out. People don't help people by hating them and having contempt for them. She may need some compassion.
