If the crap hits the fan about my finances going down the tiolet...I will really need a tremendous amount of support and kindness.   |
I think we have the same brother
(I understand needing help and having to endure torture from family in order to get it. I changed the dynamics by simply stating, very calmly, "You know I'm not well, right? Like right now, speaking with you, is really, really hard for me. I go to the doctor. I am working on it. I need help." period.
However he responds is on him. I wish you luck!
and no response other than an "OK" and then ... peace and quiet!

Please let us know how it goes.
