[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bumping this because of a new wrinkle. I'm one of the PPs with a "failure to launch" brother in his 50s. I asked my parents why they just bailed him out, yet again, of a financial mess. Apparently my father asked my brother what his plan was if they didn't bail him out this time, and my brother said he'd kill himself. Do I think he'd kill himself? Probably not. He loves his kids too much, but my parents opened their (very meager) wallets upon hearing that. Ugh.[/quote] Heartbreaking. I feel for your parents who are likely in their 80s. It is elder abuse. Has your brother ever been in therapy? Do your parents think they enable him? Finally this must be super hard on you. I always wonder about the siblings of the FTL adults. So so sad. [/quote]
