mmmkay, I'll explain what's going on since people here seem mature
While growing up a certain family member was ummm, "dirty". Eventually he decided to clean up his act after everyone refused to talk to him. He was clean for awhile, but eventually went back to square one. Stole from me every day. Almost screwed over my chances of graduating from high school because of him managing to get us evicted, which led to my family needing to move in with my great grandparents in the middle of nowhere. I haven't talked to him sense.
Now this person has been "clean" for about a year, and is actually going to school for once. Other people in my family are keeping in touch with him, and now he wants to talk to me, but last time I let my guard down I almost lost everything I had. I know me rejecting the idea of ever hanging out again isn't helping him stay clean, but last time I thought this way...yeah.
