@Aldo420: amen, dude

Sorry, this was very funny Aldo!

Yes, this was about the same thing my mother had to tell my cousin. It was so bad that while my mother was considering letting him move in with us, he stopped by for a visit. We had a plastic screen door over our front door. While he was standing at the screen door knocking, he must have seen a thug approaching because he started begging my mother to open the door...knocking hard, fast and shouting etc. My mother told him no, of course lol The thug came up and hit him in the head with a brick right against the screen door smh My cousin then walked away. I guess he realized at that point, staying with us wasn't going to happen.

lol, yall are so funny. Well, I totally agree. I would rather a family member deliver the beat down then anyone else. That family member who steals learn that they can not just take advantage of their family without some type of consequence. It's just that drugs are very powerful. Unless the person is willing to also take a little charge in their life and accept help, it's not much the family can really do except beat that a** over and over again. It becomes tiresome after a while. When my cousin walked away from the door after getting hit in the head, I figured it would take a bit more than the beating to get him to straighten his life out. My mother said she saw him recently and he seems to still be struggling a little but at least he has a gf now. I bet it is also taking his own efforts in order to make an effective change in his life.
