[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Often people like this are mentally ill AND they have dysfunctional, overprotective parents.  Their parents watch them struggle so much growing up or in young adulthood and they don’t know what to do or how to help, and they usually end up enabling or making the child feel even more helpless.  I’ve seen this dynamic in my own family and it is frustrating and a little heartbreaking. 💔

Just be the bigger person Op and try to have some compassion.[/quote]

She can have sone compassion while strongly encouraging them to get brother fully employed, out of the house and  into an affordable studio apartment before their health starts failing. He absolutely has to do this or get rush board for depression or some other issue and go on disability. Otherwise, OP should NOT support him. Most likely he will end up inheriting the parent's’ house after they die, staying there, falling behind on the taxes even with the trust fund they leave him and living in squalor. OP, if you’re comfortable with things heading this way, mayor sure you’re not involved in any way legally. [/quote]

*correct - he has to do this or get diagnosed with depression, I meant… [/quote]
