> I know this is easier said than done. But both your brother and your mother are adults, and there's nothing really you can do to influence their behavior. Please don't take on too much worrying and responsibility over something where you have absolutely no power.

You're right, easier said than done. I'm already buzzing from the wine and smoking my second cigarette (I only smoke one in a blue moon since I quit, I have a pack for emergencies). Believe it or not, Harry Potter is helping more!

I think I'm most nervous because my brother said he'd call me back tonight. His calls when he's in trouble always upset me. I think he may have been able to tell I was crying this time though.

> Believe me, I do understand how hard it is. I constantly have to remind myself of it. Do you have breathing exercises for staying calm? And distraction is definitely good too.

Thanks for the support Dinah. It helps to know there's someone out there routing for me!
