I am so very sorry. I can relate to how you feel. I have family that I love and try to support who will not take steps themselves. It is so very sad, hard, and can feel very hopeless. Here is what I have come to know, we have to know that we cant save others all we can do is offer love, support, honesty and try to help ourselves realize the limits of our abilities or influence. I would believe your brother and nephew know how much you love and care for them. It is important that you find a balance for you. I am a fine one to talk because this is hard for me too, but it is true nonetheless. It sounds to me, as if you must be a very caring person.
