[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 596212, member: 13542"] Welcome Piya. Does your brother have any diagnosis? Is he involved in any substance abuse? We've seen much of this kind of behavior and usually it does involve some kind of mental illness, personality disorder, abuse, substance abuse, etc. How old is your brother now? It appears he is in his late 20's. At this point, if you are still saving him from his thievery, then you are enabling his behavior. Stealing is against the law, whether the problem lies within him, as you mentioned, or because his own money doesn't stretch far enough to cover his needs. he is still engaging in illegal activity and is not getting any real consequence for it. You and your parents are in essence, allowing this behavior to continue and as a result, it does. He may simply be an entitled character who believes he can do whatever he likes and then does it and no one does anything to stop it so it continues. You and your parents could call the police and have him arrested. I imagine that would stop the behavior, at least in your home. How you help him is to not allow it to continue and provide real life consequences. [/QUOTE]
