As everyone here knows or may not know. I'm not a religous person at all. I'm agnostic. Don't know what to believe.
My father has severe bipolar disorder, drug and alcohol addictions. Bad drugs. Like, heavy stuff.
He's been without family and money for a really long time, falling in and out of jail since i was 12, and he's been trying incredibly hard to help my family in any way possible but he seems to keep falling back into addictions and criminal offenses. His bipolar disorder doesn't help his addiction or the situation, and it REALLY scres me since i have the same mental handicap as him.
He also has some very serious physical infection that started when he shared needles or so he says.
He's been through rehab alot. around 8 times. within the last 6 years. I found out recently that he more than likely has permanent brain damage from all these drugs... and along with having the trouble of currently trying to withdrawl from his pain medications he's been addicted too, he may be damaged enough he is dying. If his drug abusing habits keep up, he won't last more than the next 2 years. I also have a fear the infection could be as deadly as HIV.
It really terrified me to think about this. As much as my father hasn't been there for me in the last 10 years, he's still my dad. I know how much it would hurt my younger sister and 8 year old brother. I'm terrified.
If anyone here is religous.. it would be nice to pray for him.
I just want him to finally be off of this stuff. And get better.
I found this out Sunday morning. Thanks everyone. Sorry if this bothers anyone...
I'm just in serious need of some helping hands and prayers.
Even i found myself praying today. To a god that i don't know if i believe in.
Sorry if this is like, TMI.
I just really had to vent.
