I can only imagine how scary this must be for you. But perhaps there's something positive going on: he could be in rehab and that's a good thing. ((hugs))

There's always hope that he's getting it this time.
I know how you feel, though. I have a cousin who's a meth head. He's 42 now and he's just a mess. He cleaned up for a couple years, but he's back at it again. Meth just sucks the soul dry--it's tragic.

I have a close family member who is an addict. It is hard to remember that they aren't "doing it to me," but rather that they are controlled by something other than their own will. It sucks and hurts, but it helps me to remember that and remove myself from being angry all the time. Those calls from the police/hospital are the worst, but not knowing is even worse. I've been through both and I hate them equally. I hope you find out what's going on.
I am so very sorry Que that you have to go through this. It sounds like he was a good brother to you when you were both small. It must be very painful to see what he's become and have to accept it. My heart goes out to you and it breaks for his daughter. I hope he responds soon.

ALWAYS HOPE!!!
I hope that no news is good news.
AND that you get SOME news soon! I am so sorry you are going through this.
Do you know the general location he was last? Maybe you could search court records online. Those won't turn up in a standard google search, I don't think. I hope you find your brother soon.

Sorry Que. that's got to be very hard to deal with. I hope you find him soon and it is good news. Was it recently your mom's birthday? I take it he missed the mothers day call?

Is it at all possible he left her number at his old house/apartment and doesn't remember it? Maybe he will call or return home once summer is over. If he is homeless here he may want to go back to BC for winter.
Did you say once you are part First Nations heritage? Does he hang out with mostly the native guys? If so there is a spot at Spadina and Bloor (an outreach type place) where many congregate. Perhaps the service workers there know him? I know this I a LONG shot but you never know.
