47. I have a brother like that. I am constantly helping him. But I also fear he might act out on me one day.

It makes me not want to be around him, but I am all he's got. Today, I brought him $200 worth of groceries. I feared what kind of brother I would see when he opened the door. Fortunately it was the one I remembered as a kid...kind, thankful, and wrecked with anxiety. But alcohol or drugs can turn that anxiety very quickly into something very dark.

If it can happen to the Reiners, it can happen to anyone. They were such good people.
