My brother is depressed. Basically, he is only in contact with me when he wants me to give him money, which he asks for by threatening to commit suicide or become homeless. He works part-time. He will not give me any information about his efforts to get help, what treatment he is receiving, whether he has made any effort to get a job, etc. He lives with a girlfriend who does not work and I don't know what financial contribution, if any, she makes to the household. I am currently paying his rent every money and have paid for him to declare bankruptcy and other bills. I am going to be retiring at the end of this year. Can anyone give me any advice as to whether I should continue to help him?
