[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there something wrong with middle brother? How was he so easily taken advantage of?[/quote]

He just isn’t sophisticated. He trusts easily. He spent time with and cared for my mom, which was always his strongest talent. My oldest brother made up some story about how it would be a loan etc. It’s not a loan. He spent all of it and had no plans to pay him back. [/quote]

Come on, most people are so easily duped. Something else is going on with your brother. [/quote]

He has barely a high school education if that’s what you’re getting at. We were raised dirt poor. Not DCUM poor. Like food stamps and housing projects poor. I made it “out” because I always excelled academically and was super focused and didn’t want to live in the hood the rest of my life. My brother didn’t have the same drive, so he got stuck. As a result, he’s spent most of his life around people who DCUM people try very hard to avoid. [/quote]

I think the best thing you can do, if possible, is take your middle brother in. Let him live with you for a set amount of time and help him find a decent job.  It also sounds like you need to help him learn some life lessons.  [/quote]

Yes, I can do this and it’s what I’m planning to do. I flew him here to visit w/me and my kids. While he’s here we are going to work on his resume and look at some possible jobs together and I’ll help him apply and prep him for some interviews should he get any. I’ve talked to him about the importance of sticking up for himself and telling people no — even with his own brother. I’ll keep talking to him. It’s weird because I’m the youngest, but it’s always felt like I’m so much older than him. He was crying because he said he messed up and shouldn’t have given the money away, but didn’t know what to do/how to say no. [/quote]

OP, if the older brother asked for a loan, and there is no evidence, have younger brother text the older brother…Hey Jim, you said you would start paying the $100,000 that I loaned you back in Feb, can you start paying me now? Just something showing the amount and loan…with no pressure to get evidence. Make sure it’s in middle brother voice and not a lawyer voice.  Or, if older brother lives in a state that allows recording with 1 person consent, download a recording app on younger brother’s cell phone and call older brother to ask for the money back…hey Jim you asked for a loan..I need rent, car, medical…make up some excuse as to why middle bro needs money back now. Older brother will not be the wiser and may ..at the very least …not deny that he asked for a loan.

Then you have evidence to sue older brother for return of the loan.[/quote]
