perhaps on the meds . . . but a better solution, IMHO, is eliminating the brother sitch, as you called it :)
dude needs to get his effin' act together and either move out and take his baggage full of crap with him or straighten his arse up and start living right. for that matter, he who we speak not of needs to get off of his high lonesome, too.
but that's the paradox of the addict. . . . they can't always see that the sh!t they do not only harms themselves. It also harms those around them emotionally as well as psychologically.
I *hope* that this helps open my mom's eyes a little bit. at risk of sounding too harsh (like I care right now), I think that she and I could use a few people standing with us instead of blindly just going along with things and accepting things for what they are, and support me and my mom (especially her, since I'm more resolved and can more clearly think on this w/out so much emotional conflict right now) in telling these people that, whether they like it or not, some things simply *must* change . . . and if certain people aren't willing to even put up an effort to change, then they need to go away for a while.
the simple reality is that the brother and he who we speak not of continue to do things that are stressing her out, and, quite frankly, that piss me off. I'm a big boy, i can deal with it and, if necessary (as much as I'd hate to do so) i can remove myself from all of it completely and just walk away from it all, washing my hands of it all. I don't want to have to do that, though. I don't think that it's right. I just wish that i had a few people standing with me to confront the sources of stress and try to make them understand that the stress will eventually kill her, and that something *must* change. now.
