[quote=Anonymous]OP, I grew up with an older brother with severe mental illness. It was hell. He took up all of my parents' time and energy and I resented him for it. In short, I was the younger brother you mention. I had a lot of anger at my parents too. That was a long time ago. I now understand his illness better and realize he is very sick and always will be. It's heartbreaking. And now that I am a mom, I can't even imagine the pain his illness has caused my parents. Have some empathy for the parents. They are going through hell. For the younger brother - I can tell you that what I wanted most when I was in that situation is escape. I desperately wanted to be out of the house, away from the craziness at home. So it's great that you are letting him spend time at your home, and I encourage you to continue to do so. You're probably doing him a much greater service than you realize. [/quote]
