I know it was a poorly written post. I have never been the best writer. I was raised in the south, and it is hard for a man to admit his mistakes, but you are right. Here is what really happened.<br><br>My brother and his wife had a baby. I was the best man at their wedding. I thought my brother had changed. I thought he was better. Then I started noticing that my brother would come up missing for hours, sometimes days. I thought it was weird. Then my brother and his wife came to my house. My brother was asking for $20,000. My sister's husband offered to give my brother the money, but my brother said he would only take the money from me. I knew that my brother was doing drugs. I was angry that my brother would come to my house high, especially with his baby. I told my brother that I would not give him the money until he stopped doing drugs. My brother started to cry. My brother looked like a baby. My brother said that he felt like I did not love him, that he felt like I hated him. Then I started to feel bad. I gave my brother the money, and my brother took it. My brother left, but then he came back. My brother was asking for more money. I told my brother that he had to stop doing drugs first. My brother started to cry again. Again, I gave my brother the money. My brother left, but then he came back. My brother kept asking me for money. I kept giving it to him. I was afraid that my brother would kill himself if I did not give him the money. I gave my brother all my money. I was broke. I didn't care. I would give my brother my last dollar if it would keep my brother alive. Then my brother's wife came to my house. My brother's wife was angry. My brother's wife was yelling. She said that my brother had spent all their money. The money was for their baby. My brother's wife was crying. My heart broke when I saw her cry. I took my brother's wife to my brother's house. I beat up my brother. My brother was bleeding. I was angry. I was upset. Then I ran away. I didn't think about it. I just did it. I didn't know what else to do.<br><br>A year later, my brother's wife came to visit. She brought my brother's daughter. My brother's daughter was six years old. My brother's daughter was beautiful. I had never seen my brother's daughter. I didn't even know that my brother had a daughter. My brother's wife told me what happened the day that I ran away. She said that my brother had been doing drugs all day. She said that my brother was high. She said that she was too scared to call the cops. My brother's wife found my brother in the tub. My brother was dead.<br><br>That day, my brother's wife told me that she was going to get help for my brother. She said that we had to make sure he was okay. I agreed. We called the ambulance, and the took my brother to the hospital. We were so happy that he was going to be okay. My brother's wife thanked me for beating up my brother. My brother's wife told me that if I had not beaten him, she would not have called the ambulance. She had given up on him, she said. She loved him, but she said that she was tired of watching him die. My brother's wife thanked me for saving my brother's life. My brother's wife hugged my brother. My brother's wife was so happy to see him. My brother's wife was so grateful to have him back. I thought that my brother's wife loved my brother. I thought my brother's wife would always be there for him.<br><br>A year has passed since then. Recently, my brother's wife came to visit again. My brother's wife and I sat down. We talked for a while. My brother's wife told me that she hates my brother. She said that my brother had sex with her best friend. She said that my brother had sex with her best friend in front of her. She said that my brother had sex with her best friend in their bed. Then she started crying. I hugged my brother's wife. I told my brother's wife that I loved her. I told my brother's wife I would always protect her. I told my brother's wife that I would always take care of her. Then my brother came home. My brother saw my brother's wife crying. My brother came over. My brother was angry. My brother thought I had done something to his wife. My brother's wife told my brother to leave her alone. My brother's wife was angry. She started yelling at my brother. She told my brother that she hated him. She said she had been protecting him, but she was not going to anymore. She said she had protected him all his life. She said that my brother was a baby. She said that she was my brother's mother, his wife, his
