[quote=Anonymous]Just go about your life and let your brother sort his out. There isn't anything you can do for him. DH has a sibling who is an addict. She has stolen from her parents, refuses to hold a job, and works only menial jobs when she does have a job. She still lives with them at almost 40 years of age. I can't do anything to help and neither can DH, so we just go about our lives. We used to offer advice to DH's parents, but DH's parents refuse to take good advice. At this point, DH's sister is past the point of help, most likely, and will always rely on them financially and emotionally. The way I see it, DH's parents raised her to be the mess she is, so they can deal with her. I just watch and learn so I don't make the same mistakes with my kids (being too indulgent, refusing to give consequences, going into denial) that they did.[/quote]
