[QUOTE="Steely, post: 405406, member: 3301"] PS I wish I had advice about the brother situation too - the only thing that I can think to say is that Matt's dad is SO mentally ill, and screwed up, it makes Matt look like a saint. When Matt turned 18, the only thing he wanted to do was go to "live" with his Dad. I had spent 18 years making it not possible for him to be under the influence of his dad - and boop - one day - there he was living with him. But guess what??? Matt spent exactly 3 months with him, before he called me to say he couldn't be around his dad anymore. Matt realized and lived his dad's insanity, and now knows he wants absolutely no part in it. All the starry grand illusions of living with his dad died a quick death, and he got the heck out of there as fast as he could. All of that to say - is that if your bro at some point brainwashes your difficult child into living with him - you might be surprised to see that your son sees him for exactly what he is and wants to find the quickest exit door. However, I of course, like you, would fight it until you have no more legal power when he turns 18. [/QUOTE]
