[quote=Anonymous]My brother is bipolar and this is the main source of our family problems. He can never hold a job for more than a few months, still lives with my eldery parents and demands money from family members. He recently got fired from his last job after having an attitude problem. Christmas was awful. He was yelling and screaming during Xmas Eve. I was scared of him. Didn't want my kids around him. He did not want to get up to see the kids open gifts. He was really pissy that we wanted the whole family up to open presents. Should we just not include him in the holidays? I don't know what to do. We hosted this year and my parents and brother drove down to our house. DH thinks we should not host my brother. At the same time, it would break my heart for my brother to spend Christmas alone.[/quote]
