My 21 year old brother, who is an alcoholic, needs money again. Well he isnt asking yet. My mom is asking for him. He has racked up over $1000 in driving violation fines (DWI, PI, Speeding, registration). If he doesnt pay next week, they will put him in jail, so they are asking to use my credit card b/c my brother can't get a credit card. I feel conflicted. I want to help but I'm first tired of being burned with him and also tired of him not learning a lesson. I also don't want to see him in jail or for him to think I don't care. But what can I do? At first I said no and my mom was dissappointed. Are there any alternatives to helping someone without keeping them codependent?
