Is it normal to want a family member to die.

13 Comments

My brother is a raging heroin addict. In the past 6 months he has, stolen $8000 from various family members, OD’d 4 times ( once requiring CPR until EMS could arrive) The guy is a piece of sub human shit.
I won’t say that I hate him, but I don’t love him. I don’t consider him anything but a burden and a talking point.
Lately I have caught myself wishing his ass would just fucking die already. My wife says I’m crazy but I’m tired of hearing his name come up and that it’s not normal to laugh about my brother every time he comes up in conversation. She got mad because I told his ass the only thing I want to hear from him is the sound of dirt hitting the top of his coffin lid. I don’t want him to turn around and do good. I want to see him dead.

I know there’s people out there that can relate and feel where I’m coming from. I’m like fuck this dude.

    Those who are difficult to love are the ones who should be most loved.

    He's an addict that's out of his mind addicted, which is most likely why He's an asshole.

    What's your reason?

      This. I do actually have an addict in my close family. We grew tired of his stealing and banned him from our homes. He used to break in our windows and steal things to sell. We moved without telling him.

      But I don't hate him at all. I grew up with him and remember who he used to be. I'll buy him food or clothes when I see him, I just don't give him money or my address.

      I do wish he'd get clean and live a normal life (education, job, kids, ect).

      I can understand the OP being sick of his brother and wanting him far away... but I can't understand the death wishes or hate.

        That's the way to deal with an addict or alcoholic until they sober up. Good job 😊

    It’s understandable to be angry with him. And to cut him out of your life. But to want him dead in my opinion is to far. I’ve delt with drug addicts. What he needs is help. That’s not to say that you should be the one to help him. What you should do is cut him out of your life completely. He can only affect you if you let him.

    How the hell has he managed to steal $8,000 even over a 6 month period?
    I mean when he is around, wouldn't people be like, "Oh here comes the money stealer" and hide their cash?

    Your brother is basically a pimple on the ass of society.

    Why would anyone laugh about your brother though? I mean someone who steals isn't exactly comical but a POS.

    Admittedly though your brother DOES play a role. You know how every family has at least that one member who never seems to have any money?

      He was able to get $3000 out of my mother’s checking account. Then he somehow got my other brother’s credit card and racked up $5000 in charges.
      Apparently his little habit runs about $300 a day.
      Prior to that he somehow got a copy of my brother’s drivers license and ran it into the ground. Even got arrested and was booked in his name.
      Everyone knows to hide their stuff but he doesn’t go for that kind of stuff. He really fucks you

        $300 a day? Jesus, how much heroin does he use??

        In the UK you can buy a decent big hit for £30. And that's for someone who's far enough down the rabbit hole that you expect them to drop dead any day.

        $300 a day... Wow. You sure he isn't using the money for other things as well?

        Desperate people do desperate things.
        $300 a day...? That just is not sustainable over a six month period unless someone is earning a doctor's salary. Maybe he is in debt to some really understanding lenders.

        And smokers bitch about the $10 or less per day that their habit costs.

        You know it kind of sucks though. When someone is desperate for something, all reasoning goes out the window.

    I think we all feel like we have an obligation to "love" someone just because they are family, when the reality is it's not always true.

    I'm not mad at you, because it just sounds to me like you're tired of his crap is all. Honestly, if someone had stolen from me I would be fed up with that person too.

    I understand most of what you're saying.
    The drug issue is a tough nut to crack.
    But, hating family.
    Not wanting him to recover, but die.
    That's to much for me.
    I think you're hurt.
    That's the worst part about any addict.
    The damage they cause to others.
