I just want to see him... \:

Sea Oats · December 2008

So, I had a friend. Our parents went to high school together, so I've known him -literally- since we were in diapers. His parents divorced about the same time mine did and my mom, sister and I pretty much moved in with him, his mom and sister. He was like a brother to me. We were inseparable. Last summer, 2007, he was diagnosed with epilepsy, which is a neurological disorder that causes seizures. He was put on medicine for it, which in turn, caused depression, so then he was put on depression medication. All the medication made him mean. He just wasn't the same person I knew and loved. We stopped talking. He egged my house, always found a way to say something hurtful, and it eventually turned into true violence. He threatened to kill me a few times, continuously hit me, threatened to hurt Stetson (all of which made Stetson extremely mad), so I lost all contact with him. I knew he couldn't help it, but I couldn't risk putting myself in danger, he's so much bigger than me, God only knows what he's capable of. I got a call the other day. It was from his mom. He's been in the hospital since November with severe brain damage cause by his epilepsy and it's only getting worse, not better. All I want to do is go see him and my mom won't take me. She told me it would be bad for me, but deep down he's still my brother. He's still my best bud somewhere in there. I just want to hug him and tell him I miss him. Tell him he'll always be my best friend. Partner in crime. My brother. I want to tell him before it's too late. \:

Aw

I'm sorry, Sea Oats. That must be hard, especially that whenever you did see him, he wasn't the same...

I am sorry to hear about your friend. I have two people who suffer from epilepsy, my boyfriend and my close step brother. My boyfriend only has it mildly and hasnt had a fit in years, but is permantely on medication, and he too has mood swings. My step brother on the other hand was dianosed with multiple brain tumors which cannot be removed, he got epliepsy, continues to have fits and is currently awaiting a payout from state government after they did not allow his meds in prison, which ended up he having a seizure and falling off a top bunk and ended up with a blood clot in his brain. My step bro sounds like you friend, his being mean and nasty was not him, but his brain disorder, whatever was happening affected his emotional, feeling side of his brain. My step bro is still fairly healthy, but things could change any moment. I feel for you. Have you told your mother really how much your friend means to you? I don't know your mum, but I am sure if you told her exactly how you felt, i'm sure she would take you, I would for my own girls. After all I'm sure if he is not going to get better, she would like you to say goodbye. I hope your friend does get better, prayers go out to him....

Well I have told my mom. She knows how close we used to be because she watched us grow up together. She told me she's not going to take me because I haven't talked to him in almost a year. Not to mention my mom and I don't get along -at all- and she doesn't listen or care about a word I say. My best friend never liked him, but she told me she would take me to see him if I really wanted to, so I might just take her up on that offer. Thank you, he needs as many prayers as he can get.

I wish I could help - I think your mother is being spiteful, and trying to hurt you.

....My Poor Oats

Drugs, even perscription can change a person. You poor thing. It only shows what a good,loyal,understanding person you are. Someone else might have given up on him. But you didn't inside you still think of him as your bud. I think you should go see him.

I am glad that there's someone who understands how you feel, and help you out even though its had for them. You got some great friends there

Aw, poor Vi

I'll pray for him too. I kind of know how you feel. Allot of my friends and some relatives that I knew almost like brothers and sisters just sort of turned/changed and now I hardly know them at all. I hope you get to talk to him

Keep us updated if you can

Howdy, Stranger!
