Hey Peaches, this is quite the row you are hoeing.

I haven't been in your position and it sounds excruciating. Hang tough and keep posting.

Kudos for spending time with your kids.

If your brother attempts to use and manipulate you in the future, please remember your words:

Same goes for well meaning friends and family. Every time you and your family take a back seat, it is not for your brother, it is for his drugs.

Most rehabs will not want him to have access to that kind of money, however, I would absolutely not want any ties to it myself. So if he asks for it, I would give it to him, preparing in my head that he will blow it and come crying back to you that he has no more money.

Rehab is not necessarily a happy place. He will not be happy to be there, and yes, he will likely blame you for every bad thing happening in his life. The up side is that he will be in a rehab with people on staff there to help him process those things.

Hugs to you.
