My dad called me a few hours ago to tell me some news... But it wasn't good news... It was about my brother Bobby...

BOBBY


Bob is 8 years older than I am... My birthday is the day before his... He is a great brother and I love him to death... He has the greatest imagination... He writes his own comics and has so many ideas in his head that he beleives would make wonderful stories... But there is another side to Bobby that not many people know about... Bob has some mental issues that he has been dealing with for well forever... He has to take medications to maintain a normal life... If he goes off these meds or alters anything to them he turns "crazy"...

Which brings me to the phone call I received from my dad this evening... My brother is in jail... He is in jail for assulting 2 different people...

Bobby lives in a group home. In fact Bob has been in and out of group homes his entire life... He did live on his own for a little bit 2 different times but when he decided to take himself off his medications they had to put him in the group home...

But this time Bob was still taking his medication... they didn't know why for sure he all of a sudden turned... From what my dad told me he cut some phone lines in the house then assulted one of the workers in the home and when the cops were called he assulted one of the cops... They tasered him and then he was sent to jail...

Meanwhile at the group home the caretakers of the home went up to his room and among his belongings they found an empty bottle of mouthwash... They have a feeling that he drank the bottle of mouthwash... of course we all know that mouthwash contains ALCOHOL... BOBBY CAN'T HAVE ALCOHOL.... So they think with the combination of alcohol and his medications that is why he turned and became well crazy...

The caretakers of the home and his caseworker are working on getting him out of jail... He doesn't belong there... but because he assulted a police officer they arrested him...

I will find out tomorrow how things are going... It will anger me greatly if he has to stay in jail... But I really hope to freaking GOD that his caseworker can get him out... He really doesn't belong there... I know he assulted a police officer but because of his situation I really don't think he understands what he did...

I can only pray and hope that he will be okey

Later days
