[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely warn your brother no question. I can only assume the huffy responses here are from mothers of similar fail sons. Just stick to the facts when you tell him, sounds like they’re perfectly damning without any added opinion from you.[/quote]

Most of us aren't saying not to warn the brother. However we do question OP's motives and understanding of the situation. She sounds really vindictive and emotional. If she just sticks to ACTUAL FACTS, she's fine. You'll notice OP presented dubious facts. She mentioned a few things, but from the way she listed them along with dramatic generalizations, I'm not certain the plurals (firings, lies, etc) she used are real plurals, or whether she makes assumptions based on preconceived notions about her relatives.

I point this out because my mother and aunt tend to communicate in this exaggerated way: a relative gets fired, doesn't have enough rent and has to live with someone else, and they start gossiping to everyone that the relative has gotten fired multiple times, then they declare that he's a moocher and a layabout, and finally after a couple of years, they "just know" that he's an overall disgusting human being... luckily, now we all know how it snowballs in their heads and we take everything they say with a grain of salt (and have lost all respect for them).

Moral: stick to facts.
