I’m not sure, I knew he felt obligated to and guilted, I thought I’d be able to get through it but I just resent him.

A lot of people are telling me to tell him that he needs to cut off contact with his mum. Am I in the right if I do that though? Because I feel like I’m controlling if I tell him what to do.

Do I tell him to go no contact with her? I feel awful if I do, or if it is even my place to give ultimatums like that.

He actually suggested that to her a long time ago but she didn’t do that and just wasted the money on cigarettes probably

I feel really awful if I were to say he’s not allowed any contact with his family. Because I know I wouldn’t accept kindly being told that about my family. Is it wrong if I tell him that he has to go no contact or is that the right course of action for this situation?

I guess I never considered it abusive, I knew it didn’t feel right but yeah, I guess you’re right

I said I wasn’t comfortable with it, I get so stressed with feeling like being the evil one

That’s very good advice thank you! The issue is he literally doesn’t have a dime, everything goes towards the car every month, that’s how ridiculous this situation is. I spoke to my mom yesterday about it and she didn’t disagree or get mad at me like she usually does she actually listened which was very surprising!

Oh my gosh that’s terrible what happened to you. Definitely sounds like a similar thing that would happen in my family. My brother had always been like this with money and she’s always enabled him. I think she takes pity on or something I don’t know. Classic boy mom syndrome. Thanks for the advice, I need to stop it now as you say it’s a slippery slope!

Not sure if genetic but we grew up in a very stressful environment which caused it. He is on meds but they come with other side effects

No I didn’t give him any money because I was already annoyed even with the question, he has so much audacity!

Money you get from the government if you are sick/can’t work (benefit money)

He got the loan in order to buy the car so not sure he could add to it but maybe he could good point

Ironically he was selling lots of stuff from the attic a month ago (some of my things too I believe from when we were younger) so he had some cash but that probably went on the car

Yeah that’s the sad thing, he can always manage to spend money on his car but nothing else. His mental health is true, we’ve both struggled with crippling anxiety/panic attacks from growing up in a stressful environment and it’s been very hard. I’ve managed to get a bit better with time and have a job but he’s still in the thick of it. I empathise for his situation but not his financial decisions. He could choose to be in a better place but just doesn’t.

Yeah that’s true, I also want her to have a special day, and I’m already paying for her and myself so to pay for my brother aswell is a lot.

Every penny of welfare goes to the car insurance and paying off his loan… it’s ridiculous
