Paula so many of us have lived with a Jack. Over the years, they become their disorder in the minds of those around them. No longer Jack. No longer someone’s beloved cherubic baby brother or adored youngest child. Your brother died too early as is often the case with addiction related illness. Some Jacks get better though because someone is brave enough to share a story like yours and it becomes their survival guide. Thank you.

“He kept a pet canary named Wharf” this line, this line. Heartbreaking and tender and angry - oh Paula.
