[QUOTE="JMom, post: 679038, member: 19892"] I wish I had answers for you. I'm glad you're here. I too have a 46 year old brother who still lives with mom. I felt the same as you. I decided to just invite her out for lunch. I pick her up for lunch so we can see her and she can see her granddaughters. I just say I don't agree with you helping brother, but it's not my decision. I also don't discuss him with her, she won't feel the need to defend him and I won't feel the need to shame her or him. I just don't talk to him. I'd encourage you to see her when you can, apart from him. There are adult protective services if you worry about her being taken advantage of or being threatened. They are experts in that field and will know how to intervene. She will have to male a decision not to let him in if they get him out. It's tough. Sounds Luke she's caught up in it. I'm praying for your mom to have peace, for you and your family to have time with her and your brother to get help with his dysfunction. I hope you find peace today. Thank you for being an advocate for your sweet mother. [/QUOTE]
