[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 756911, member: 18958"] I would change the title NOW. You know this.You know about this too. What can you do, except tell him directly how you feel, and let go? Like this: He's fought for his health before. He knows what to do. You don't know this. This is a fear and it's yours to handle. I think you're handing this correctly, *see above, telling him of your concern, and moving on. I agree with Crayola that your brother is the weak link here. He IS stirring the pot. I can see why you took every single step you did, but you know what to do now. Your mother and brother seek the life they have. No matter what you do for her, it won't be straightened out, because every time you try to unravel a tangle, she rushes to tangle it right back up again. Same with him. But she's the only mother you have, and what you do on one level, you're doing for yourself, first, to look in the mirror, and two, for humanity's sake, and three, so that you are not eaten up with regret when it's her time to pass. I had people like this in my family. There is no good way to do this. Each of us has to find our way through. I am sorry. [/QUOTE]
