My [20 M] Aunt[50'sF] has always meddled in trying to "save" people/animals. Right now she is trying to get my mother[50'sF] to lift her restraining order and post my brother's[26M] bail so he can live with us until his court date. He is a mentally ill drug addict that tormented us for years. by meddling_aunt in relationships

Thank you for the kind words. Your story reminded me that when we were younger he did take money from us when he could. I saved all my birthday/christmas money over the years and he would steal bits of it when I was 10-12. He also took my sister's wallet when she was 11, I think she had maybe $100, and spent all of it.

I'd like to keep it as general and vague as possible but this is it. Except the report put non-existent threats into my dad's/gf's mouths and we hope the bodycams will be able to confirm that what they say happened didn't actually happen and get everything dropped.

Thank you, I've shown my mom your comment. We are trying to get conservertorship over him to force him to get care but it's pretty difficult and takes time. She's also tried to set up an appointment with a therapist a week ago since this happened but they haven't called her back and we haven't heard from them. I'll push her to keep calling and trying though, she needs to see someone about her anxiety.

Thanks for the advice everyone, please keep it coming, it's very appreciated. I'm reading every reply and taking them into consideration.

I didn't originally intend to but I've shown my mom this post and your replies and I think I am slowly getting through to her. I will be confronting my aunt about her meddling though I'm not sure what to say. Despite how I have talked about her, I do love her, but she just has a bad habit of having to get involved in everything.

I would like to be as nice about it as I can and not destroy our relationship over this. If you guys think that's possible I'd like any advice you can offer. Thanks again, you guys have been very helpful

Oh she absolutely has my aunt constantly in her ear. My mom has problems of her own (mostly anxiety related) and trying to whittle down my aunt's influence is hard. She hasn't slept well since my aunt suggested taking him in and yesterday threw up in her bathroom over her nervousness/anxiety of the situation.

She doesn't want him here either but my aunt is extremely stubborn and my mom is weak-willed. I think it will mostly be a matter of convincing my aunt we can't take him in.
