[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so sorry OP. This is such a tough situation.

I agree with PP that you need to be attending al-anon and if you can, therapy. Your OP shows you viewing your brother as though he is healthy and capable in the same way you are healthy and capable. He isn't. He has a disease. It is OK and normal to be angry but it isn't the best place to be in if you are trying to resolve the situation.

I think you need to come up with your boundaries and stick with them. Having your children not around your brother seems like a reasonable and sensible boundary to me. Al-anon and therapy will help you with all of this. Sounds like you and your sister are united and should support one another with this.

[b]As depressing as it is for your dad to be dealing with this at this stage in life, he and your mom also have some responsibility in creating this situation from the years of enabling your brother. [/b]

WTF? The parents do not bear responsibility for the situation of their adult son.[/quote]
