Features & Description

My brother was getting drunk so much he was scaring myself and the rest of my family. I did one of the hardest things in my life. I went to him and voiced my concerns. The people in this email, decided as a group to ignore the situation. I was doing all the hard work, all I needed was for these so called friends and family to stay quiet. Instead they decided to make up a story about me, the only person doing what God wanted. When I tried to go to other family members to try to talk as a unified voice, the family and friends decided to lie about me and enable my brother, his girlfriend and her 9 year old daughter. They decided to all say "I was lying, trying to hurt my brother." I have no idea why they did this, but I know what they did is deformation of character. Not only did they risk my brother's life, but kept a 9 year old girl in danger. If they would have done what God wanted them to do , I believe the little girl would be much safer today. If we all talked to my brother and told him the truth, I believe we could have helped him. These people have since admitted that they knew all along, and chose to openly enable an addict. My brother was crying out for help with his actions and they not only stood by, but helped him keep it a secret so he could drink more freely. These people enabled an addict (her Mother) to continue drinking and driving with the child. No one in this email has apologized or taken any steps to help, that I know of. I have never heard of a group of people, 10 or more, all deciding to do such an irresponsible thing. I would love to know why.
My first 3 emails in this is hopefully headed to Vatican City. I will also translate an email in Italian, and send many more.
I feel like MADD (Mother's Against Drunk Drivers) has more experience in this matter. I am also contacting SADD ( Students Against Drunk Driving ) in hopes that someone can provide some advice to me. Or contact the people in this email and ask them to stop acting so horribly.
I called the office of Bishop Jacob of Diocese of Houma- Thibodaux. I talked to Mrs. Yvonne Duplantis, her email is e-mail: yduplantis@htdiocese.org. I have sent many emails to the bishop's office. She seems to not be concerned. She said "all she can do is pass the information along."Everyone that reads these emails can call the people listed and find out the truth. If you do not help, you have not broken any of man's laws, but I fear you have broken God's law. Bishop Jacob knows of this story. He knows one of his principle's has made a bad situation possibly deadly. If you enable someone with an addiction, you are "putting a loaded gun in their hand." Bishop Jacob should hold an investigation into this matter. I have sent emails to all office's of the Catholic Church in Houma and New Orleans. These are earlier emails I have sent:

My name is Michael Vanderbrook. I did the same thing most people would do when they see a family member in trouble. I went to the family member and voiced my concerns. He became very irate so I went to another family member to try to get them to reason with Joe. The family slandered me to keep me quiet. I have never been treated for or have ever been diagnosed with a mental illness. I am willing to take a lie detector test, if I am lying about one thing, I will pay for the lie detector test and give you a $1000. I will sign a contract stating this agreement.
I am looking for legal representation for emotional distress from slander that was a group effort. I have been permanently damaged from this slander. I have lost many nights of sleep and I deserve restitution. I want to sue these people in this email, Resources for Human Development, Community Care Hospital and Dr. Barnes from Community Care Hospital. I would like to sue Resources for Human Development, Community Care Hospital and Dr. Barnes from Community Care Hospital for $80,000 each in 24th Judicial District Court of Jefferson Parish. I would also like to sue the people mentioned in these emails for $20,000 each in small claims court in Jefferson Parish La.. I am willing to only take 40% -50% after medical bills are paid.
This is an important case because I believe many families will be going through the same thing in the future and we must protect a loved one's right to try to help their family member. I tried to talk to my brother Joe Vanderbrook about an obvious drinking problem. He in turn like many addicts called me a liar. I then went to our mother to look for assistance. She and Joe convinced the rest of the entire family, I was lying. My family has lied for over 2 years about my character. When I went to the people I assumed they slandered me to, my family swore to these people Joe was not drinking heavily and I was a bold face liar. Then they went to social services and told them I was making the whole thing up. Social Services believe them, because they had around 10 people telling the same lie. I get picked up and committed for 8 days, costing me $15,000 in medical costs. My mother and sister came to the mental hospital and again lied to the psychiatrist, telling him yes I was making the whole thing up.She has since admitted "the family knew all along about the dangerous drinking Joe was doing and they lied. The private company Resources for Human Development sent a social worker to my house. She told me she drank every night, I called her superiors the next day and they retaliated by having me committed. I believe it was Lisa Ruffins, who is some type of supervisor with Resources for Human Development, the person I called her superiors on that gave the report to have me committed.
These are emails I have sent along the way.

The first email is the last one sent and so forth.

Carroll O'Connor, who played Archie Bunker on All In The Family, lost his son to drugs and alcohol. His Quote was "Do whatever you can, to get between your son and drugs and alcohol." Ask anyone who has lost a loved one to this disease. I have a right to voice my concerns to my brother and some of his friends, without being slandered by people who just don't seem to care (Vic Bonnaffee and June Pennison). I think Jesus has called on these people to apoligize and set the record straight. I believe their actions have endangered Joe, Katy and a child's lives. I believe their current action may be endangering more. If anyone reads this email and sees their actions, they may be reluctant to speak to their loved one. Just know you have to try to help, no matter how many people are acting evil around you. No matter if they arrest you and imprison you. Even if respectful people in the community are helping to spread lies about you. Because in the end we all have to answer to God.
Vic Bonnaffee has still not apoligized for the role he played in endangering 3 people's lives. I do not think anyone that handled a drug problem of a friend so horribly in his personal life, should be a principle of a high school. A percentage of high school children are endangered everyday by drugs. Vic Bonnaffee does not realize "he risked my brother's life." June Pennison does not realize "he risked my brother's life." Have either of these 2 people called or emailed me to say sorry? NO. Maybe they are that ignorant to think this is a good way to handle someone's addiction. Maybe they think they are right. That is all the more reason for the resignation.
What would you do if you were scared for your family members life and tried to talk to them. But could not "get through" because of people, that only pretended to care about him, were too selfish to try to help in th smallest way? Then they told the addict you were lying and not really trying to help? WHO DOES THAT? I will not let addiction or misguided lazy people endanger my brother's life.

4th email

If anyone knows about addiction, to keep it a dirty dark secret helps the disease flurish not the patient. I am telling my story because I know other families will go through this. I don't want anybody to read this and decide to not speak to a family member they are concerned about. I hope to the contrary you will find that you only have one option. You have to go to the person you love and as hard as it may be, voice your concerns. There have been similar cases in the news. I hear some of Michael Jackson, Anna Nicole Smith, and Elvis's family tried to talk to him before their death and others stood by silently. I did not hear in any of these cases of the family and friends slandering the one person trying to help, trying to intimidate the person to stop helping their family member. I did not hear in any situation of family members going to social services to lie and say the person is making it up and they are dangerous. Then a mother (Genie Castellon) and a sister(Karan White) going in to a mental hospital and lying to a pschychiatrist, so the only person trying to help will be silenced. Causing tat person trying to do right to have $15,000 in medical costs and be held in a hospital for 8 days. Because the doctors believed the family. I am sure the doctors did not expect the family to lie, while the doctors are trying to do a true evaluation. So they were believed and Joe didn't get the help he needs and I was silenced. I believe Geinie, Joe and Karan may have broken the law with their actions. What kind of a mother lies about someone to have them locked up for trying to help her son. A mother with mental problems. Any of you would have had to go to your loved one and express concern. And what these people did can be done to the next person with intentions to help. I was trying to do what we all are expected to do in a similar situation. I was trying to get 3 or 4 of his friends and family to talk to them about their dangerous behavior. The 2 addicts malipulated this and said we all have to lie beacause he is telling others. I told 3 people for a year, while these so called friends enabled my brother to keep drinking. I begged them to do the right thing and help them. All of these people in this email claimed before all this to have love for Joe. But as soon as that love was tested they all failed. Joe and Katy were doing in under everyone's noses. And demanding no one is allowed to say a word. They wanted everyone to walk on eggshells. They wanted to be like Elvis everyone knew but wasn't allowed to bring it up, even if it may have saved Elvis's life. I refused so the family made up lies about me. Saying I didn't want Joe to be happy. I was so depressed in my own life I was just trying to destroy Joe's happiness. What a bunch of cowards, JUST BECAUSE YOU DID NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH AN UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION. I just wanted him to stay alive during the addiction. I pray it is over but the families actions kept me in the dark and made it horrible.

In my family Joe is Elvis so the scenario is similar. The very popular addict that everyone enables until they die. I can't watch that happen. Especially when Joe was such an interventionist with his sister Karan, Me, and M we will call the third addict that Joe came to their rescue. He saved me how can I not give him the same opportunity I think we all deserve. To have our loved ones tell us the truth at a dangerous crossroads in our lives. I am trying to help a family of addicts, my heart is being led by what I pray are God's decisions. Call and talk to me you will hear the truth in my story.

I just don't understand the motives of why you would slander and isolate the only person telling the truth. Addiction is the only thing to explain it. But 10 people lied to my face. If 4 or 5 of Joe's closest friends came to him and talked in one voice, he would haall of thDid all these people know and intentionally lie? How mad would you be if you were trying to get a loved one help for their illness, you see a friend walking your way. You say to your friend " Hi doesn't Joe look great he is going to AA now."Trusting your friend, You and Joe know all three know struggles with an illness. The friend is in a rush on his way to lunch so he tells your son " Your family just wants to control you, drink as much as you can it makes you a man." You would be furious at that person and demand an apoligy.

These are God's children, each of us involved are God's children. If lives are lost because of a drunk driving accident many other lives will be affected. There is an 8 year old little girl involved. This little girl has to get her eyes fixed because she is cross eyed. Help the little girl whose mommy needs counseling for her alcohol addiction. Call Deacon Vic Bonnaffee and June Pennison long time teacher at Sacred Heart Elementary School in Morgan City La. and later a teacher at Central Catholic High School in Morgan City. Tell them I love and respect you but you owe it to your long time friend Joe Vanderbrook to tell him you are concerned with his actions and you are worried about the little girl. The little girl has not decided to ride with an intoxicated person. I begged and cried to June Pennison to do the "right thing by God" and help me talk to my brother. If a stranger on the street asked me to talk to an alcoholic about their situation, I would do it. I pray that threw the help of Jesus Christ someone reads this email and sees the truth. All of the people thought they were helping but by now must know they were enabling an alcoholic. These people made it easier for this addiction to grab hold of my brother.

I tried to go to his closest 2 relatives first. You need to go to an addicts loved ones to try to get through to them. Joe and Katy said I was trying to embarrass them to people. Of course an addict will say that so they don't have to be counseled about their addiction. The whole family was worried sick but they chose the wrong way to handle it, they enabled. This group made up a lie about me very early on so they did not have to get involved. The addicts were lashing out and they didn't want to have an awkward 5 minute talk to possibly save 3 lives. All these people claim to love Joe so much but none enough to take the hard and narrow way. > "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.” It was a hard thing to do to talk to someone you love when they are determined to hurt themselves and others.
Lastly, these people have said slanderous things about me. They all helped progress a lie that "I was jealous of my brother and that is why I was PICKING ON HIM." I was and am trying to save people's lives in this situation. All addicts deserve to be helped by family and friends and not enabled. The only defense an addict has many times has is the old "YOUR CRAZY" so Joe and Katy tried this. The family backed up the lie, they told it to Jefferson Parish and got me hospitalized. Genie Castellon my mother now admits that they new all along of the serious drinking problem , but "Made a Mistake." Meanwhile, I am given $15,000 in medical costs. I am not going to get into the physical and emotional abuse my mother did. Even though 3 people her ex husband, her only daughter and me her son have all said she was abusive. This is the same mother who walked into a hospital recently and looked a psychiatrist in the eye and said there was no drinking problem. Oh and about the abuse for years all 3 sources were lying, now "She made mistakes" This family has many addictions from alcoholism to obesity to gambling, shopping. Addiction runs in families, and it has run all over my family. I beg for anyone's help. I know people do not like to get in people's family business, but addiction does not let you think clearly. Sometimes some kind honest words from friends can help. God Bless all of us that know the truth.
A word to Deacon Vic, you are a good man making a horrible mistake. June Pennison, you are also a good person making a horrible mistake. You owe it to your friend to tell her the truth. And both of you owe me an apology. If anything I am saying about you is not true that is slander and you can sue me for it. I will be in court trying to get help for my family. I am suing for the slander that was maliciously delivered. I also am suing for the $15,000 in medical bills. If anyone feels I have said one thing that is not true come sue me.

Genie Castellon also admitted her and the rest of her family were lying about everything. This is a family riddled with addiction. I beg their friends Deacon Vic and June Pennison to reach out to Genie and their long time friends and just tell them "they are forgiven." In doing so it will give them the strength they need to get the help they also need. It is easy to help someone that wants help, but even those that do not want help we should not enable by "walking around on eggshells." You have a right to say to that person your actions are troubling me. Because if they die because of their addiction you want to go before God saying I told the addict or your loved one the truth.

I went to Archbishop Rummel High School and the Brothers there did not teach us to "Stay silent" when we see someone obviously crying out for help. Either Katy or Joe could drink in private and it would not be in out in the open. But they choose to drink in front of people and demand we "walk on egg shelves." When both of them are acting nasty, probably because of the alcohol.
My family and certain so called "family friends" ( "Deacon" Vic Bonnaffee and June Pennison ) have all been a part of this lie.They have been trying to have me institutionalized because I tell people the truth when they call me a liar. I prayed about this and Jesus gave me insight to "just say I was worried about some actions I saw, without my name being so smeared I got put in a Psych ward for 8 days, before I got a lawyer and got out. Because these 2 addicts are giving the addict response" Oh He is crazy, we are not drinking too much". I am taking legal action against the 4 people who caused this to happen. This is ridiculous.
I know there will be more punishment for doing the right thing. When people do horrible things they will do anything to keep the honest person silent. I know they will call this Agency on me and that agency. I know God would not want me to stay silent if I were honestly worried about 2 people's health. I hope these Good people involved do the right thing. I know 95% of their lives are good. This is alcoholism tearing people apart. If anyone can help with maybe some knowledge about addiction, please call the people mentioned in the earlier email.
I am a little worried that they will keep trying to punish me to silence me. Even St. Peter acted like a jerk denying Jesus 3 Times. My brother Joe and Katy are people, sometimes we all need a helping hand. These 2 people and friends have destroyed my character and I will see them in court. Why would people slander someone trying to help? HMMM
I will keep as many people informed about this as possible. I think it will be harder for these "Great people doing an evil thing" to harm me with incarceration or worse. I think some people mentioned will continue to lie and threaten me with further action.
I still contend "I did what God wanted me to do." God said do good by people and they will harm you sometimes because of your good deed.
