my brother isn’t that bad, although [b]he can’t control his temper [/b]he cares for me in his own ways. at the time, he was used to me helping him financially, and he would help out around the house (paint, garden etc). he couldn’t come around we cannot provide him anymore since we have our own priorities. 
what he told my parents was he lost his job and was just asking me to borrow him a months repayment so he doesn’t need to pay the high interest, he also told my parents it was my wife that blocked me for giving him the money. but in fact he couldn’t keep his work repeatedly and asked us to pay all debt, i would of helped him if i wasn’t married, but it was my decision not to bail him out again. i was furious at the time also when parents took his side.
i say it’s getting to me because i would thought my wife forgave him having passed 5 years already, and i can’t keep staying mad at family. i would still say no if he wants money from us, but my wife can’t tolerate his behaviors and values

If your brother truly can't control his temper then your DW and child should never be around him.  He's too volatile and no telling how it would escalate.  I would encourage you not to engage with him either.

If your brother chooses not to control his temper, your DW and child should never be around him.  He's toxic.  You should not be around him either because you would then be condoning/approving his choice.

Unless your brother gives a sincere apology and demonstrates civility, no one should have anything to do with him.  There's no way I'd let you take my DC around a person like him.  He'll bad mouth me in front of my child and you wouldn't do anything about it.  No child should experience that. [/quote]
