Brother Was In Terrible Car Accident, May Never Be The Same Again, Do I Tell My Ex?
So last night my brother was in a car wreck last night, by all means he's lucky to be alive, and the doctors quite frankly are surprised that he is. I went to visit him today and he's pretty bad off. Not so much physically but mentally. He has some severe memory loss and can't remember what seems to be the past year and a half.
Him and my ex girlfriend were very close at one point. They considered each other brother and sister and he actually came out to her. Around August of last year he developed a severe drug problem and became very violent and irrational, eventually threatening her which ended the relationship. He has since gotten help but I'm almost positive they haven't spoken. I've tried to speak to her a few times with no response. The thing is he doesn't seem to recall any of this happening. He still thinks he is playing varsity football and wrestling, and doesn't even realize he has a drug problem. Me and my ex were really the only people that cared about him(parents are dead, live with aunt and uncle who don't really care for him), and at one point I was his legal guardian. Should I let my ex girlfriend know about what happened? I feel like she has the right to know about it, but I think honestly it would mean more to him than her. I don't even know if she cares about him after all that happened. It's very tough though to tell a kid that thinks the world of someone that they're not coming to see him, or that they will most likely never see that person again.

Fuck off. This isn't the time. Anyway, Well I can't really get a sense of the full situation from here. But if they cared deeply about each other then yes, I think she should know. I'm very sorry about your brother.

No harm in letting her know.

If he cared for her, why was she your ex?

I think you should tell her, it may rekindle their relationship.
And she may even be able to help him with his problems. EDIT: Plus, I hope he gets better. Car crashes rarely ever have a positive end, although it may give him some perspective.

Not gonna lie. This was the best use of this garbage I've ever seen. OT: Tell her. It would be the cutest shit on earth if he forgets any hatred toward her and they can start a new friendship again. They could honestly make a movie about that. Edit: I just realized how insensitive it sounds. I don't mean it to be. A close family friend of mine suffered severe head trauma. He can't distinguish peoples faces anymore. When your with him, you state who you are, then he just matches your name with the color that you're wearing. Best of luck ![]()

If he forgets he has a drug problem, does he still have a drug problem?

that was my first thought. But then if it's a physical addiction it will catch up with him regardless |

There's no reason to not tell her.
Worst case scenario she doesn't want to see him and you're in the same situation you are now.
