Hi Nat ~ It kinda sounds like this isn't the first time that your brother has been in a pickle. Right? Did you know that by helping him all the time, you're enabling him, and keeping him from taking responsiblity?? Stop bailing him out of his problems, and make HIM figure things out. Quit worrying about it -- just FORGET about HIM and his problems. It's called 'tough love.' There comes a time when we HAVE to stop enabling our loved ones, and make them grow up! Plus YOU have to have some peace of mind. So tell him to figure things out for himself -- I assume he's an adult, right? (I hope so!!! ) If he's not, then tell your parents just what I told YOU.

Now, go to your bed, and pound your pillows until you feel better - seriously! Hugs, Lee

Thanks for this!
