So, I'm gonna bump this thread rather than make a new one. Anyways, here goes.
I'm 21 years old, in college, and the oldest of five. My oldest brother has something akin to but not exactly high functioning autism. Dealing with him has always been a struggle but it's something I wouldn't trade for the world. He's my brother and I love him, but he's been getting worse. About a year ago he began a downward spiral not in intelligence but behavior. Emotional and moral characteristics just aren't something he seems to understand, just "I want so I take." That in itself isn't a huge deal but combined with a desire to annoy and oppress others and beginning to act violently causes a whole nother slew of issues. My stepfather commutes to another state and stays there for four days a week and he's bigger now than anyone else in the house besides my stepfather and I so a large portion of my week is assisting in dealing with him, sometimes restraining him when he gets violent if need be. A week ago things just wouldn't stop and my mother and I had to the pediatric ER. I was literally there to stop him from hurting other people. I wasn't sure he's come back home with us, ever, at that point. He came back and we're trying some new meds and setting up appointments with psychiatrists to get a better reading on stuff but it's still a struggle, and likely will get worse before it gets better.
Anyways, again, I'm not sorry I had to leave but I'm sorry I left, and I just can't dedicate any time to this place right now. I love all of you guys but my mind hasn't been in Star Wars(or anywhere but home and school really) for about a month now, and y'all don't need to wait up on me. I'm glad to see y'all are all still staying strong, which really just reassures me that this idea and this faction were necessary and that the people I started with were the right people for the job. I've transferred ownership to [member="Seroth Ur-Rahn"] and will be getting him better Skype powers in the chat room later, he's a good man and he'll treat you well(as I'm sure y'all already know in my absence). I'd love to return as y'all have got a wonderful place here but I don't know when that's gonna be possible. So, thanks for the ride.
And one of you pirates(You know who you are), tell the last member of our little group what's up here. I might talk to y'all a little later(time willing) but I don't want anyone to be excluded.
