I am just frustrated because I, along with other family members, invested time, energy and love into another family member and that family member took it all and threw it away over something he wanted. We had a beautiful year together as a family and now it's back to where it was with the member in question serving another stint behind bars.
I opened myself too much and got burned. I'd probably do it again because I want for this family member to succeed and it's really out of my hands. If they don't want it, they don't want it. Perhaps in time, they will go "a-ha!" and get it.
