[QUOTE=Patriot;1366819]If I were to do this, I would probably try to get my brother alone with me at least for a few hours. Maybe overnight on a camping trip, take him fishing or something. Then, I would tell him my plans and why what I am doing is trying to help.

I really am impressed with your strength and your vision. Ya know, getting away from the problem and going camping is really awesome. Sometimes just a get away can be very helpful especially when you want to talk to him.
There is a football player at Clemson University who did the very thing you are trying to do. He took his little brother away from his drug addicted mother and is raising him. Google him: Ray Ray McElrathbey
I live in Clemson, so I was very touched by this young mans story.
If you read any bad news about him, he got suspended because he was doing too many Oprah shows and not studying enough, but he's back on track now.
