[quote=Anonymous]I agree with the previous posters. One thing I wanted to add is about his tendency to lash out more when you set boundaries. That is completely typical of someone having emotional issues. They are used to acting a certain way to get a certain response, and when they don't get it, it makes them furious and they lash out harder in the hopes of getting it. It's no different from how your small child will test boundaries and you have to reinforce them over and over again before they get it. Your brother may never "get it," but that doesn't mean you're doing the wrong thing. Your interactions with your brother need to be ones that feel emotionally safe for you, or you can't provide any support to him.[/quote]
