[quote=Anonymous]OP, I want to wish you and your family the best of luck. I don't know what the answer is but either way it will work itself out. The thing is letting him face consequences and sink or swim on his own will happen whether you prolong it several years or let it happen sooner, it will happen. I say let it because your love for your son is obvious, so is your desire tread water while holding on to him. Please don't forget to give attention to yourself, your marriage and your other children. I am the younger sibling of a brother like your son. I am 39 and he is 41 now. It mostly turned out okay but not for Years. he created a lot of resentment and difficulty and pain because my parents kept protecting, saving, bailing him out...literally and figuratively at the expense of themselves and me. I love my brother and who he is now, but sometimes I do not like him. It turned out ok for us, and i hope for your family as well! My brother dreams in physics but he only passed high school by the grace of my mother, teachers who cared and quite frankly luck! It has not been an easy journey but we all got there. This is shaping who your other children are, how they view relationships. Please make sure you give them family time without the brother if necessary. Hang in there and be strong enough to let what be will be. I am hoping strength and peace for your family. [/quote]
