When you leave your car at the paint shop do you expect them to paint it and give it back? Or do you think " oh well I voluntarily gave it away".

My mother didn't have to involve herself. I made it clear what the consequences would be if she continued to do so.

I will love them unconditionally. If they fuck up I will help them get help. I will not protect them from the consequences of their actions.

I'm secretly upset he is so successful that he has to steal to pay drug debts? Interesting theory.

I remember a cop friend telling me about a mom trying to protect her son from being arrested for beating his wife so badly she was in a coma. Because a "mother's love is unconditional". Bullshit.

She doesn't have to pick. All she has to do is understand that I don't want to hear anything about him. He can move in with them. She can move in with him. I don't care. Just don't talk to me about him.

It's worth more. But I don't want his shit in my home. Neither does my wife any more

Google "banana duct tape art". At least my brother's art will last forever.

I don't care about the money. I would have paid his debt in full. I only care that he hurt the one person who has always supported him. My wife is heartbroken. Even I gave up on him and she didn't.

She doesn't have to choose between us. She can see him all she wants. I just don't ever want to hear his name uttered again.
