I feel your pain. It's always been family first but damn if I don't get stressed over hearing about my brother's problems and my moms stressing over it too, ain't helping. Sometimes I feel like I'm being too selfish and maybe I could do more.

Best of luck to your fam.

You need to watch some episodes of intervention. Not that your bro is a drug addict but it really shows how other peoples behaviour enables the addicts to do what they want with no consequence.:ld:

I got a cousin that is a pill popping junkie, eventually got tired of trying to help him out and cut him off. I don't need that shyt in my life, only thing I feel guilty about is not telling him what a worthless piece of shyt he is.

You guys are correct. He should be cut off, and he should get help. But how do I get my mom to realize this?

Every time I try to tell her she says things like"your brothers all you got" or "you gotta take care of family" I find myself spending time with him and going to pick up his kids just to appease my mom.

:snoop: Typing this just made me think about his kids. His daughter is 7 and cant count to ten or recognize different colors. My 3 year old son can already do that. I've been trying to help her but, I can't cut him off without throwing his kids in the bushes.

he is part of the team as is...

you cannot disown family...

if your kids turnout to be a washout, you want your wife to leave them behind? if you made a few mistakes, you want your mom to forget you? Or forget about your brother? feed your brother to a society who might not care about them

there is a stopping point, and some may have giving up, but obviously your mother your love your brother, and inside her mind, there is a guilt there for his condition...maybe an intervention? but really your brother has to realize his mistakes, but then he might not...the realities your brother is experiencing is not grim enough for changes, its his life, its his culture - but should your brothers kids, suffer the consequence of a irresponsible male? maybe that can change.

your bro is irresponsible and you know what, he is still your bro...

once day he will realize it, some days he may not, but you might be responsible for making sure the irresponsible brothers kids makes it...

:snoop: I know, but I don't know what to do.

As for the kids you are totally correct. Lately i had been staying away cause there's always a problem with him and his babymothers. But i think I'm gonna make a real effort to help his kids.

I wish I could go find my brother and beat the shyt out of him. This nikka entire life is self inflicted failure after failure.

Growing up we weren't rich, but we had enough money NOT to have to sell drugs, rob, steal, etc. Yet before he made it to 20 this nikka was in jail for drugs and a pistol. Over the next 5 years he was in and out jail, and it all culminated to a highspeed police chase through city streets, ending with rolling an f150 5 times and knocking out the power for two blocks worth of people. And almost killing himself and a pregnant passenger.

He got out of jail for the last time at about 30. He already had 10 year old son, and a 5 year old daughter that my parents had been supporting including their worthless mothers. In the 6 years since he's been out he's had two more b*stard kids for my parents to take care of while he runs around to pursue his "rap" career. He's been nothing but a headache for my mom, she's a good person and just wants to help, but chasing this dude around trying to help him is tearing her down, and fukking up her relationship with my dad. They keep fighting cause my dad wants nothing to do with my brother,but my mom keeps helping him.

So finally to the reason I'm actually writing this. My parents have been paying his rent and car notes since he's been out. They have also purchased three different cars for him. The first ones engine blew. The second one he purposely totaled in order to get an insurance claim that from my moms policy. He was supposed to use the money to get another car, but instead he bought a pound of kush, and thought he would sell it to get a better car. He ended up smoking most of it and getting arrested with what was left. This was about a year and a half ago, fast forward to 3 months ago, my parents buy him another car, a nice 02 Caddy. This morning my mom calls me hysterically, cause he got drunk and totaled the car, he sent her a picture of it and said he wanted to kill himself, so my moms running around the city looking for him, and her and my dad got into it cause he told her "I told you so".

So now I'm sitting at work mad as fukk, I wanna go find this dude and help him kill himself. It's hard for me cause I don't wanna hurt my mom by throwing him in the bushes, but he deserves it. She calls and begs me to spend time with him and help him, but honestly I want nothing to do with him.

How do I support my mom if she won't stop helping this dude?
yo fam i mean this is in the most least disrespectful way....what a fukking loser :scusthov:

geez perhaps you all should seek a family therapist whenever he is located to see the source of his issues...honestly I would not even know what to do in this situation...

I have a similar family member except he is my uncle and I am over joyed when he goes to jail because my grandmother does not have to worry about him...he is pretty much like your brother but a drug addict and he spends more time in jail than out...the whole family has pretty much given up on him except for my grandmother and I hate to see him using her but she allows it so there is nothing I can do but pray for them both...situations like this take lots of strength...prayer... and family bonds...

I wish you all the best though...

has he always been like this?

yo its like im reading my life right now. :merchant:

im sorry ur growin through this, I have been going through it with my older brother on the same car wreckin, i wanna kill myself, makin babies drama his whole life.

The problem is definitely his fault but the family enables him to do that shyt. While he's never spent time in prison like yours has he has never had to face any consequences. He's 34 :flabbynsick: living with my grandma, hooked on meds, doesn't pay rent, has 2 babies he don't take care of that I have to pick up for him, spends all his money on his car

I don't know what to do either, just like you. Im at the point of giving up too, it's hard enough surviving on our own to be worrying about someone else all the time.

OP/Djweltch,
What would happen if yall stopped taking care of their kids? Or ended the codependent relationship with your brother?

What if you told your enabling mom that you cant talk to her anymore unless she cuts your brother off?
