Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 My thoughts exactly. Trying to save him will only drown you both. I would be there to support him when things do go bad, but other than that, I don't see much you can do. <<hugs>> Kristi In a message dated 12/28/2006 5:16:19 PM Eastern Standard Time, psychfred@... writes: , You answered your own question in the last line, " He can't see it or doesn't want to.

Need help for brother Hi all my parents are going through a divorice and mom is BPD. The divorice has been horrible she is ruthless. My brother is on a bad path and not dealing with everything well. he doesn't see that mom is sick. i think he even wants to go live with her. he is 21 and old enough to decide but in many ways he is very immature and doesn't know how to express his feelings. he even racked up 6 grand in debt on my dads credit card because mom told him that would help him build up credit. does anyone have any suggestions what i can tell him to help him understand that if he chooses to live with mom he is throwing a chance at a good life away. he will lose his college mom refuses to pay for it, and dad is broke trying to keep him in college. not to mention that her whole family is mentally sick and needs help. he can's see it or doesn't want to. anyone have suggestions i don't want to see my brother mess his life up. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 , I wish I had a sister like you. It's admirable what you want to do and natural how you feel. However, I agree with Greg and Kristi. It's very painful, I know. Maybe some day he'll change. Meanwhile, you can just be there for him -- when he's ready, if ever. Keep posting. Keep coming back.
