[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am confused. Does he live with you?

You shouldn't be having to support a grown man. Have you been fully supporting him since he was twenty? How did the situation get to this point?

How did your parents die?

This sounds like a nightmare.[/quote]
Right now he lives with me but I've also rented apartments for him in the past but it was becoming too expensive for me as I bought a house and took out business loans during the pandemic. I have been financially supporting him since he was 20. He fell into a major depression and taking year off from school turned into 7. Parents died in a car accident. [/quote]

I have a colleague whose parents died in a car crash when he was 18. Guess what? He is a neurosurgeon married to another doctor and supports three children and has been this way, driven productive and determined to build an adult life that reconstitutes what he lost and more, since he was eighteen. Your brother has had enough time to go down with the ship. It is time to stop enabling him. Give him six months to make a plan and get out.[/quote]
