I’m sure a few of you remember me talking about how close Randy’s brother Pat and I used to be when he lived here. He helped me get through Randy being in jail, the halfway house, and rehab by being here with me constantly. We worked together, watched TV together, went everywhere together, and were able to talk to each other about everything and anything. It was a really good friendship I thought but recent events have weakened that bond and nearly eliminated it. It hurts, a lot. He was my best friend and my confidant and he used to say the same about me. We saw each other like a brother sees a sister and we had a close friendship. He was comfortable to walk around in his boxers around me, talk about anything, and do pretty much anything.
He moved in with his grandmother recently when his girlfriend began staying there. He was sharing a room with me and Randy and it began getting crowded but we never complained about it because it was fun with all of us hanging out, watching tv, just chilling out for awhile. He moved abut 2-3 weeks ago I believe? He said he was going over there for a night or two and never came back. He said it was because my mom complained about how expensive food was when people were here constantly, understandably (because 3 grown adults do consume a lot of food) but Randy and I buy most of our own food for snacking and all of our own drinks since we go through them like it’s no one’s business. So Pat moved but didn’t because he didn’t confirm it until recently. He came and got all of his stuff today because he moved into “town” to get a job and straighten his life out he said, also understandably.
The big problem I have with this is that he’s basically abandoned Randy and I completely for his “new” friends in town that smoke pot all the time and do things like shrooms and whatnot. We’ve asked him to come hang out for a night or two since he’s moved and EVERY single time that he’s asked we’ve been turned down only to find out that he’s out with David (who he sees everyday) or doing something so he’s ditching us. I don’t call that a very strong friendship. He also doesn’t call or anything like that except to be like hey whats up and then it’s done. I’m just a bit upset that we were so close before and he can just toss me and Randy to the side so that he can go party constantly.
I guess it is what it is though. We can’t change it but just deal with it. I’m more worried about Randy though. First Heather (same stuff, but more of a bitch and extremely rude and “I’m better than you”) and now his brother. It’s his entire family deciding they’re too good for him/us. :-\ At least his parents are still keeping in contact and communicating without it seeming like it’s some huge chore.
