[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MYOB, your brother chose to marry her and they are adults. I get that she seems shady but not your business. Your brother chose her although your family "warned him about her" kwim. His business.[/quote]

I'm thinking that he is blood and so I won't mind my business, at least not to he extent you suggest. I intend to stay out of their relationship which is why I chose to turn to a forum and ask what others thought rather than approach him. [/quote]DP here. I agree, OP, that your brother's behavior is confusing but that's how alcoholism can play out in families. In 12-step programs, they describe alcoholism as "cunning, baffling, and powerful" and that's what you're seeing with your brother. OP, you might want to attend some Al-Anon meetings to hear other people's experiences with it in their family. If Al-Anon does not appeal to you, you might consult a professional or read some books about this. Good luck. I can tell you care about your brother. [/quote]
