[QUOTE="Lil, post: 686911, member: 17309"] DaisyMay, Welcome. I'm sorry you have to be here. The first thing you need to know is that you can't do a thing to change this. Not only is your brother an adult, but so are your parents, who are enabling this behavior. Perhaps you can get your mom or dad to check out this site? If they keep bailing him out, nothing is ever going to change. I suspect your brother is into drugs, alcohol, gambling - something. After all, what is he spending the money on? I doubt he's got a new car or clothes that he bought with the money he got from the Wii, right? Not to mention that the lying, denying he did it, is just textbook. My own son pawned our belongings and while he's never admitted to more than pot - which he loves - he once mentioned that he "beat a major addiction" while upset with me. He not only stole from us, he actually helped me look for something he stole! He denied it...even when he was the only possible person who could have taken it. I wish I had words of wisdom. We booted our son out at 19 after the stealing became apparent and did not stop. It's high time your parents did the same, but, as I said, it's their home. They have to make the decision. [/QUOTE]
