MyBroIsAlco,
Your post could have been my post. After my Mom died my Brother sold his house & moved in to be with Dad...but it ended up taking advantage of my Dad.
My Brother was an active Alcoholic then & got worse when he had access to Dad's money. When the lawyer was doing the Probate of Dad's will when he died he found that our Dad had left the house to both of us. What a mistake.
My parents enabled my Brother all of his adult life especially after his two divorces so he was very dependent on them.
He drank more & more & got into drugs too...I hadn't heard from him in three years & I was getting copies of some of the utility bills since I was co-owner.
I ended up evicting him from our home along with his drug buddies he was renting rooms to for more income.
I need to take my husband to the ER so have to quit but my Brother is sober now, I sold the house, & I send him money when he calls me asking for it.
I don't initiate anything else...this is his money & he wanted me to handle it for him.
kelsh....will write more later.
