Things are getting worse with my brother. Everyone told me I was worrying too much, but so far all of my hunches have proven accurate. I'm not stupid, I know what's going on. It wasn't that long ago I was a teenager myself, and he thinks he can hide stuff from me? He's slipping away right in front of me and I feel helpless. At this rate, I expect that within the next year he will have gotten her pregnant, moved out, and stopped going to church.
His is youth pastor is a joke and I'm actually glad he's NOT getting advice from him. My dad isn't doing or saying ANYTHING, leaving my mom to shoulder everything and look like the bad guy. The only counsel my brother is seeking is from my best friend and her fiancé, but he's conveniently filtering any advice through the lens of his desire because he's ignoring all of the consequences they endured and only focusing on the fact that they're now engaged (which must mean they did everything right).
Its enough to make me want to scream.
