A Reprobate Mind…

I was going to give the long version, but instead I’m trying to put it in a nutshell. Here goes the unemotional and dry list of what has happened.

1.) My brother was very wealthy with a house worth a million and a half in a very upscale west coast community. He had a wonderful wife who had been a lawyer until they had their first child then dabbled in work as she raised their two children.

2.) My brother was an entrepreneur so traveled a great deal and was away from home frequently.

3.) My brother has had some affairs in the past that I think irrepairably damaged his relationship but he didn’t end it. Nor did she. Astoundingly she still loved him. She also loved her life… she was extremely rich and had just about everything.

4.) My brother went to a club and met a very young black woman from the ‘hood. He helped her move to a different state. He developed a cocaine habit by her side. He set her up in an apartment, bought her jewelry, furniture, etc. He took care of her kids and tried to help her become a less abusive and more attentive mom.

5.) While all this was going on, he pretended to his real family that he was still with them but out of town on business. He left his own family on vacation in Disneyworld to fly out and go on vacation to disneyworld with his mistress and her kids.

6.)My brother went through over $700,000 on drugs and shopping sprees with his girlfriend.

7.)When his double life was discovered he wouldn’t make a choice between the two women.

8.) When his cocaine habit was exposed he told his 15 year old daughter that the drug habit was her fault because she wouldn’t accept his girlfriend. Subsequently she cut up her arms and felt suicidal. She didn’t tell anybody about this until last week. Keep in mind that this girl is an A student who has been in some tv shows, has been awarded various scholarships and opportunities due to her all around good character. She is what most people would turn around and look at as a “winner.”

9.) My brother’s girlfriend threatened him with a knife, hit him in the head with a hammer and, when he threatened to leave, posted her child at the door with a knife and told her child to stab my brother if he tried to get out. (All of this was told to me by my brother.)

10.) My brother began to do crack. Because of this he stole a great deal of money from our elderly mother who lives on a fairly fixed income but does have some investments.

11.) My brother stole credit cards from his wife and used them illegally.

12.) My brother sold his upscale car for $15,000 and spent it all in one week on a crack binge with another girlfriend who later tried to have him robbed and killed when he ran out of all but $200 of the money.

13.) My brother went into his house and stole a $10,000 present he had had specially made for his daughter some years before. He pawned it for crack money after having his daughter witness a tugging match over this item between her mom and my brother. The daughter was so distraught that she threw diamonds that were given to her by her family at my brother and told him to take those. He did.

14.) My brother spent over $14,000 in one week in Florida doing cocaine and partying with good looking prostitutes.

15.) My brother paid the rent for two years on an apartment for a past mistress who had threatened the life of his family. At least she says he paid the rent… I don’t know it for sure.

The scary part is the other stuff I definately know for sure and he either did in front of me or admitted to me.

Is this not enough for you? There’s lots more. My sister-in-law’s lawyer said she’s had many clients whose husbands have tried to get away with the things my brother is doing, but none who have been so successful. This is because my brother is brilliant. He has always been brilliant. That’s how he made millions of dollars. His mind is losing that brilliance, however, as cocaine erodes it away.
