22. He just graduated college with a Bachelor's in computer science and was looking for a good job, but she completely brought him down and he is working in Jim's Steaks now.

You should've let your parents kick his ass to the curb.

Stay away from fat ugly crazy b!tches. If she was really good looking, I'd be a little more understanding lol. She has a myspace, maybe I should post some pics.

link?

Ughh, I can barely look at her
Whoa. I'm wrong. If you're going to be involved with crazy skanks they at least better be hot. She clearly is not. Have your parents chain your brother to the bed. Good luck.

Shes not a dog but she sure ain't worth the family issues,weight loss,drugs,ect,ect,ect. But if that was his first serious GF then maybe he's crazy in love. How many GF's has he had in the past? If she was his first then that might explain why he's crazy about her.

Eh, he might like that too much...

And hey, I'm 6' 4" and I weigh 160....I'm very healthy...so...yeah...


Kill her, dump the body, lock your brother in a barrel until he's 25, and if that doesn't work, then go to majorgeeks.com and they have lots of spy stuff for your computer under the "covert ops" section...

There is only one thing you can do, and that's leave the door open for when he's ready to come crawling back. He's gonna have to learn this one the hard way. He's chosen her, and until he is ready to make a different choice, you are SOL.

First off your brother is an adult and he will succeed or fail on his own, and there is nothing you or your parents can do about it except be supportive. It's your parent's decision weither he lives under their roof or not, and what kind of behavior they will accept while he is living there.

Secondly I believe your spying on him with a keylogger is wrong in every sense and has caused much damage in your family. And what have you found out? That he did some drugs on at least one occasion, which by your description of his change in appearance was obvious to begin with. And at what cost? Two visits from the police, your family was arrested, restraining orders issued, and you've likely driven a permanent wedge between your brother and your family, and pushed him closer to the woman you so despise.

Just my $.02, but the keylogger only confirmed what he thought, or so it seems...

WTF is a 22 year old doing living with his parents???? Your parents are part of the problem by having him leech and allowing this crap to go on. Kick his ass to the curb, his ass should have been kicked even before he met this girl.

My point, exactly!

IMHO is you suspect that a loved one is using drugs and you want to help them, confront them directly first, then take it up the ladder to a family meeting or intervention.

Spying, snitching, and causing a family meltdown is not the way to go.

Although I have to admit that meeting between the two familys at Dennys would have been a sight to see. Don't see how anybody thought that was going to end well:confused:

Spying was wrong. Your brother is an adult, your parents should confront him like one. But, you should also realize that your brother has every right to tell you to fvck off. (If he's gonna move out) If your brother really is addicted to drugs, he will have to want to get clean before it will happen. Believe me. And now all you are doing is driving him farther away from the good influence of your family.

So you found evidence of lsd use? And your first reaction was to call the girl's employer? :roll:

What purpose would that serve, other than to satisfy your anger?

Sorry to hear of the problems. Dude...just try to talk sense into your bro. That's all you can do. If he wants to ruin his life with drugs, you can't stop him. He's going to do it until he either learns a valuable lesson or decides that it's not for him. Good luck in court. I'll think about you that day. I'm sure that if you have phone records to show for evidence, you can bring this out. Just be sure not to step on the judge's toes and don't speak unless spoken to. Let her say what she wants in court and be sure to tell your family not to acknowledge any of her lies in court...don't even bother arguing with her there....just speak with the judge and pretend that she's not present.

It's funny how family and friends react to situations like this. I would screw up and my parents would blame my evil friends. My evil friends always blamed my gf's. Sometime down the road I figured out I was the problem and fixed it

Must be a pretty small town if the local authorities takes some raving ho's word over grown adults such as your parents. And if her guardians are also backing up her bull, then its just an uphill battle.

Kick your bro to the curb and let him tear his life apart. Don't lose any sleep over it.
