[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's someone like this in my husband's extended family. She's managed to lie and manipulate and create artificial drama that's split up what was once an extremely close family. She works very hard to turn people against each other, and brings out the worst in those weak enough to fall for it.

You can't deal with this kind of person with normal talks. They take everything and turn it around and create a victim scenario and lie outright. You can only tell your brother you're there for him. He's going to have to live his life himself, though, as hard as that is for you to watch.

Your brother is enmeshed with her because of something in himself, something related to your family dynamic. Unless he works on dealing with his issues, he will continue to be drawn to her.[/quote]

OP here. You're right PP. He's the youngest, likes to be different, very insecure and as a result defensive at times, took a while to find his niche in terms of career, easily offended. Insists everyone should "live and let live" and then takes things personally. He does get secretive too to protect/defend himself from anyone he may feel thinks less of him, even if they don't. She is able to get a pretty solid hold because of that. Like I said, if he seemed happy and making his own future with her, I'd accept it. But it's about control and breaking him down. And I hate that she blames him for her own lack of success. And then on top of that the lying to him about various things, hurting other people in the process, etc. [/quote]
