[QUOTE="DDD, post: 544618, member: 35"] Honestly it does not sound to me like your parents are asking "What can they do?" As much as you want to solve the problem and come up with a viable solution you really are not in the position to change the dynamics between your parents and your brother. My impression may be wrong but it sounds as though you have given up your lifestyle in hopes that you can save your parents from their choices. in my humble opinion you can either "detach" from your brother and make it clear to all that you will not allow him to ruin your life or you can continue to sacrafice your life. You have told your brother that you will contact law enforcement if he steals from you again. Are you steadfast in that decision? Have you shared with your parents that you will not deviate from that statement? Many of us totally relate and know what you are saying because we have been there done that. It is very very hard to draw a line....the thing that is most difficult to accept is that YOU are the one who has to resolve the issue and be prepared to take action. Hugs. Many of us have "thought" we were ready. Those of us who have actually detached have found some peace down the line. Best of luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
