There really isn't anything you can do -- HE has to want to get better. HE has to face up to reality and discover how his actions affect his life and the lives of others.

I doubt that he's telling his therapist everything either. Is there any way you can put a "bug" in his therapists ear? Perhaps if he had a better idea of what is REALLY going on, he might be able to treat your brother better.

Just don't beat yourself up with blame. This isn't YOUR fault, and you have no reason to feel guilty. If he doesn't want to get better, he won't. When you have no desire to do the work required to heal, you just plain won't get better! That's up to him. I guess all you can do is "steer clear." If it gets too bad at home, you might want to think about moving out.

Take care and God bless. I hope things work out. Hugs, Lee
