[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 697302, member: 18516"] Hi Hollie, You sound like a very strong and remarkable young woman. You managed to turn your life around after coming out of such dysfunction. I know it hurts you when your brother cries because he is not getting his way but giving into him will not help him. I would suggest that he and you both get some counseling to learn skills on how to navigate through this new level of your relationship. Also know that it's okay and even healthy for you to set clear rules and boundaries. Sit down and think about what your expectations are for your brother. Getting up and getting ready for school on time, let him know that this is not up for negotiation and is he fails there is a clear consequence. You have to come up with a consequence that is fair. The key is that you have to sit down with your brother and explain all of this. That way you both know what is expected and what the consequence is. Hang in there!! It is a very admirable thing you are doing by helping your bother. [/QUOTE]
