[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had an uncle like this. He had trauma and probably serious undiagnosed mental health issues. One thing that helps is to realize you would never want to trade places with him. It might help you let go a bit. And try not to talk about him with your parents. [/quote] +1 I have not one but two brothers who failed to launch and are financially supported by my very wealthy parents. Hard not to be resentful when all they do is hang out and go on vacations together while DH and I work like dogs to support our family. We're now very worried about having enough saved for college, while one brother is selling his condo for $350K profit. The condo he never paid the mortgage for. Stuff like that is galling. I have a decent enough relationship with all of them, but there is distance that might not otherwise be there without the resentment. But I would 100% not want to be my brothers, and that does help quite a bit.[/quote]
