[quote=Anonymous]I have a sibling who has very similar issues as your brother. He steals, assaults, threatens, bullies and scares my parents into getting what he wants. He also has serious mental health issues (usually untreated) and addiction problems. I have intense levels of anger towards him but I won't call it hate. Some of the things he has done I can never forgive. Behind that anger I have a lot of sadness, grief and shame. I think its hard for some people to understand how much untreated addiction and mental illness can terrorize a family. My parents are still his hostages but I no longer am. I had to break off all contact with him to protect myself and my children. In some ways I have distanced myself from my parents because I would get upset with them when shared one of their latest crises. I could write a novel about the failures of our mental health system. I have to accept that I have no power over these people even though I love them.[/quote]
