Oh, dear...maybe your parents will have to sue for custody after all.

Your brother could also have a really bad depression...has he seen a doctor? He's just gotten out of a really abusive situation, and is facing divorce proceedings, and many people with bad depression spend a lot of time in bed, just hiding from the world. Depression like that just takes a person over.

I hope he will see a doctor and see about some counselling.

Hugs and prayers to everyone.
