[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a sibling with a whole host of psychiatric disorders. Your instinct to focus on your family, etc., is a good one, and you'll need to hold fast to it. You need some support, whether it's from a NAMI support group, therapy, etc. Don't respond to messages from your brother unless it's convenient and they're appropriate. You can come up with a list of local resources for him, but he and his wife need to sort things out on their own. So, provide the name of the psychiatrist with whom you've been in contact, and back off. In some ways, it's easier that he's so far away; my sibling is local and the boundary intrusions can be out of control sometimes. This stuff is exhausting and draining. Hold those boundaries.
