Breaking Boundaries

I'm going to write a post that is probably so "off limits" to other bloggers and readers in general. I'm writing this post because:

1: Things like this need to be talked about

2: Not every family is picture perfect.

Let me re-introduce myself.

My name is Katie, I'm 29, I've been blogging on various sites since 2008, I'm a mom to a beautiful little sassy Princess named MaKenna (15 months) and step-mama to an amazing boy named Jason (9 years old). I also have an amazing fiance and 2 awesome black kittens named Storm and Shadow.

I'm also the sister of a drug addict.

Yes, I said it.

My brother right now who has 2 amazingly beautiful daughters is in Jail right now because of the soul taking drug heroin. 

Did I do everything that I could?

YES.

It makes me sad everyday to know that he choose to do this drug.

I'm a blogger and I haven't even written to him once. 

WHY?

I don't know what to say to him. He's sitting behind bars, in the middle of a divorce, and can't see his children. 

OK...SO...

What the heck am I supposed to say? My life is great...how is yours? NOT. How about " everything is going terrible...bills are piling up ... I had a miscarriage. Really inspiring right?!

NOT.

I love him and he is my baby brother. How is it that drugs are so rampant in this country?! Every day I hear of another young person addicted to them. 

We as a country need to figure out how to help the addicts and how to get rid of the drugs once and for all!

I will admit I'm not perfect. I LOVE my coffee and I smoke ciggs but I would NEVER touch drugs.

I need some opinions...

1. What do I say to someone who is in jail?

2. How do we go about trying to get rid of drugs in this country?

It just makes me sad.
