[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]*sigh*. I feel resigned.  I am 44 and he is 42.  I'm being to accept that the bad decisions are never going to end and in all likelihood he will become my problem.[/quote]

He'll come to you for help?[/quote]

Yes and our surviving parent has recently started sayin " it's your problem now; I'm going to die soon".

My brother just has never grown up.  The problem with this is that at 20 it's cool to be say a ski instructor.  At 42, it's cold, tiring work that doesn't pay the bills and has no benefits.  Of course by then you haven't developed a skill set that will allow you to get a nice warm office job with benefits.[/quote]

Is he happy, PP?[/quote]

He was until his most recent relationship left him citing she wants kids with a man that will be able to provide for both the kids and her in retirement.  She did not want to be a SAHM, but she wanted a steadier income lifestyle if that makes sense.  Her leaving has sort of been a wake up call.  They were together 5 yrs and he was getting ready to propose.[/quote]

That's rough. Hope he figures things out. You're a good sister to be there for him. I know it must be hard.[/quote]
