Should i take in my brother!?
quick story both my parents are passed and i have 2 brothers both have children but my younger brother this week has just split from his partner of 5 years and they have a 1 and half year old....now he immediately thinks that he can come back to home house in which i inherited and live in, with child and all with out consideration for me, and the main factor in all of this is because we didnt have the best up bringing we have a fiery relationship 90% of the time......i have told him ill give him a few weeks but i deffinetly do not want to live him and also it would not be good for the child to witness this......am i being cold hearted or do i speak of sense....im heart broken for him at the moment and we are killing each other but he seems to think im a bad ***** for wanting him out "of his own house"
both valid points but i feel like if i take him in ill loose myself......we grew up in a family of alcoholism and i have gotten a little recovery through alanon but he has nothing, so not only are we all dealing with the grief of (a) loosing a mother at a young age and then left with being brought up by my father with his alcoholism and then sadly loosing him at later age....that now my brother is dealing with the break and in some sense both the grief of loosing our parents and the alcoholism that i just dont feel that i have the tools to cope with him like this.....if that makes sense?
