[QUOTE="Andy, post: 560260, member: 5096"] Remind Wiz that you have no influence over your bro. That no matter what you have to offer to help your niece, your bro will not listen. Tell him you are proud that he is able to see what is happening and that he is concerned for his cousin but unfortunately for now there is nothing that you can say or do. How often does he see her? The best he can do for now is to be a good role model in eating healthy. The more people around her that eat responsibly, the quicker one day she might figure it out. I think this request shows that somewhere deep down, Wiz does respect your values and insight. If you are careful, that could be how you get that door to a good relationship opened. Keep telling him that he has the ability to do what is right. Keep it in his court with words of encouragement that he needs to decide what the right thing to do is. You can give him possible outcomes of different actions but he needs to decide what those actions are. He will learn that you are helping him grow and be independent while grandma is still trying to control everyone and everything. I think someday he will get it and you will get him back. [/QUOTE]
