Most Interesting Family Member
This man in my life I would not consider interesting but different and even sometimes scary. He is very short and sickly skinny. He already has a receding hairline and is forming a small bald circle on the top of his head. He didn't finish highschool but instead took a wickedly horrible path which almost led him to death. Before he took that path he was smart and very good at art. But he has always been lazy and gotten into trouble many times in his life The man that i'm talking about is my oldest brother Nathan who is now 25, married, and has a daughter named Erikka who is 2. When he was younger he was a drug dealer and a drug addict. Me and him....argue a lot, haven't gotten a long for a very long time and probably never will again. I hold a lot of sistuations against him because of his drug problems that he had when he was younger. I was at the age to not quit understand everything that my parents and him were going through at the time. I was about 10 years old and hardly new what a drug even was, let alone how it affects a person. When I think back to those days the only thing that sticks in my mind was how much my parents would argue about Nathan. My parents and our whole family struggled for about 4 years with his problems. The problems we went through seemed be getting worse and not better. He was in and out of treatments all the time but always would end up back on the streets. Nathan now has really cleaned up his life a lot. He has a family and has been drug free for about 3 to 4 years. He is not the same brother that I had before his drug addiction nor will he never will be. That whole chapter in his life ruined what he was.
