The sad part about not doing anything is that you are enabling your older brother to get worse with the illness that he has....enabling his to develop more because he keeps getting away with what he's doing without any consequences.

I understand your fear.....but there comes a time when it gets bad enough that action on your part IS NECESSARY. You will actually be helping your brother if he realizes that there are consequences to his behavior than to continue allowing him to get away with it.

I would talk to some authorities & ask them for suggestions of what to do in situations like that to start with.....the authorities can give you ideas that maybe none of us know about.

I am very sad that your parents are closing their eyes to all of this & aren't taking action....but maybe they don't know what to do either & no one is willing to get your brother the help he really needs.

Maybe JAIL would be the start of getting him the help he needs....many times when someone is arrested for something....the judge requires that treatment is part of the sentence....so that they will get the help they need rather than just being thrown into jail.

YOUR BROTHER NEEDS HELP....sticking your head in the sand won't help your brother or you.
