Brother's betrayal forces young woman to confront her addiction

Title: Brotherly Disappointment Dear Journal, Last night was one of the worst nights of my life. I had been complaining about my back hurting all day, but nobody seemed to take me seriously. When it was finally time to take my medication, I realized that I had left it on the nightstand in my mom's room. I asked my brother to tell my mom that I needed my medicine, but I didn't specify that my back was hurting. My brother, Mondrell, went into my mom's room and told me that she was "knocked out sleep." Instead of waking her up or getting my medicine for me, he told me that I would have to go in there and get it myself. I was so frustrated and in so much pain that I started calling my mom's cell phone repeatedly. Eventually, she picked up and I told her that I needed my medicine for my back. She came into my room and gave me the medication, but I was still angry. The next day, I talked to my mom about it and told her that there was no excuse for my brother's behavior. I deserved to be taken seriously when I said that I was in pain, and he should have done everything in his power to help me. I hope that if this ever happens again, my family will listen to me and give me the support I need. Thanks for being a listening ear, Journal. Sincerely, [Your Name]
