[quote=Anonymous]I empathize deeply. I have a brother like this (coddles, enabled, lives at home, never worked) though like another PP, he has developed some mental illnesses and I limit contact. My kids know he's a terrible example. They are too young to understand how my parents enabled him. The truth spills out sometimes. Your parents don't want to face it. Mine freak out whenever it comes out from other people (a young relative who told him: "you aren't a grown up, you are just a big kid"). All of them are in denial and hearing the truth hurts. None of this is your fault. It kind of feels like gaslighting,when you can see reality and your family or origin denies it. Don't feel guilty. The other pps responding who don't have this situation don't get it. [/quote]
