Everything you say is true, brainhi. I needed the help I received to get where I am now. I continue to seek help when I need it. I find the best help is to be honest with ourselves and others, never settle for less and never give up!
My Mom has bi-polar. She never sought help because of the same reason as your brother.
She was dysfunctional and so of course married a dysfunctional man (my Father who was an adult child of an alcoholic who never sought help)
They of course raised dysfunctional children. My brother who was a year younger than me never sought help. He ended up taking his own life.
I realize that I am fortunate and lucky to have had the opportunity to break the cycle of denial and dysfunctionalism.
EVERYBODY WHO ADMITS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND TRIES TO GET BETTER IS A WINNER!
