My family had some very serious hardships this year health-wise, which has caused us to make some serious changes. As a family, these hardships have caused us to unite in order to get through. First, it seemed as though my brother was finally getting his life together. He and his wife and daughter were able to afford a new apartment with the money they were saving from my brother’s new job. Then we got the news that my brother was diagnosed with mesothelioma, which is a form of cancer that develops in the mesothelial lining of the abdomen, heart, or lungs. He believes it is from asbestos exposure he received at a job he had over a decade ago. He is currently receiving medical treatment for this condition.
The second blow to our family was the latest car accident my father caused. My father has had countless traffic violations that have resulted in him receiving a DUI and wrecking several cars. All of the car accidents have one common denominator, and that is they involved alcohol consumption. My father has had a problem with alcohol for a long time. The latest incident was the most serious of all. He caused minor harm to himself and the occupants of the other vehicle he hit, but it was enough to get his full attention. He finally agreed that he has alcohol dependency and has agreed to allow the qualified staff at TheCyn.com to help him with this problem. We were informed that my father would be placed in a personalized treatment program designed especially for his needs. The problems my family has faced this year have been indeed hard but sticking together has made the difference and I know with the help that my brother and father are receiving they will be just fine.
