[quote=Anonymous]OP, i really feel for your husband. you are in a position now where you can really help him.

I'm the one in the same situation. I can't stress enough how utterly life changing it was for me to finally go to therapy in my 40s. it led me to a LOT of clarity about my family dysfunction, about my trauma in growing up/being an adult with a violently mentally ill brother, and about how my parents skewed perspective about how to "care" for him (putting their heads in the sand and pouring money on the situation) did not need to be my perspective. My therapist was actually shocked that I was a functioning adult and only entering therapy in my 40s.

Therapy gave me the tools to know how to have the needed conversations with my mother stating what I would and would not do, which led her to do a lot of smart things (set up a trust, arrange her will to provide housing for him etc).

I just know your husband is probably a lot like me. Please encourage him to get help -- he can heal from his trauma and start making practical moves to hlep himself, his brother, his mom and also you and your family.
