[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’m feeling cornered because my family has already had issues with the boundaries I have chosen to set up between my brother and my family’. In their eyes I’m [b]taking my brothers bad behavior too seriously and should forgive so we can all be a family.[/b] Sounds nice in theory but years of drunken tirades and inappropriate behavior just doesn't go away. I also feel compelled to defend my wife. [/quote] This is a textbook description of enablers. This behavior by them is part of the reason your brother is an alcoholic in the first place. Don't take advice from people who are still active in their own enabling. Also don't fob this off on "defending your wife". You are entitled to, and should, protect yourself as well. [/quote]
