[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I totally understand where you are coming from.  The issue is not the coat or the notebooks, it is the emotional manipulation,  guilt trips, anger. It is exhausting.  Perhaps give your brother a lump sum - maybe $250? That's it. From the lump sum he must buy what he needs.

By the way, my sister and your brother are identical twins if you know what I mean. [/quote]

Then why didn't she set up those "boundaries" ahead of time?  It sounds to me like OP is playing a cat and mouse game with her brother and that is completely unfair.  She is being so passive aggressive in not defining her "boundaries."  OP's brother is not the only person with the mental health problems in their brother-sister dynamic.[/quote]

I did set boundaries. But therapist asked if I could help cover this one thing, which wasn’t one thing. [/quote]

Obviously what you set was not well planned and inadequate.  Don't you wonder why that happened?  Aren't you going to take responsibility for that?  You sound very good at casting shade but not at all good about taking ownership for your own bad decision-making and boundary-setting.[/quote]
