Talbot Hall @ Last! (News About My Brother)

My brother Vince is finally going into Talbot Hall, Riverside Hospital's inpatient drug and alcohol program. He put himself on the COTA bus tonight and went, but called my mom first to tell her he was going. He is probably losing his apartment and will be homeless again. Nobody in the family will be taking him in, as we are all burnt out on his nonsense and unable to put up with it any more.

About two weeks ago, he was finally diagnosed as bipolar. We're hoping that while he's at Talbot Hall he will get help for that, too. We're also praying that he gets into the month program there and not just a few days. He really needs a longer program than that, like a year or something.

It's been really painful growing up with him because you will just begin to get attached to him and love him for who he is and then he does something that just totally slams you down.

I really hope that he gets well this time but my hopes are sadly not very high. He's 46 years old, almost 47 and is still doing his thing. I'm beginning to think he's never gonna stop.

Well Talbot Hall doesn't have a bed open...........so everything is up in the air. He lost his apartment through the homeless housing program here in Columbus by being violent one too many times when he was drunk. He has to be out on the 16th.

Please pray that he chooses to go to a spirit filled christian, long term program.

HE GOT SAVED TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-D
