Uppydate on my Brother

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Good luck sweetheart - you can only do so much, despite all appearances to the contrary, your brother is a grown man who makes his own choices, no matter how bad x x

Kelly, I agree that you should talk to him by yourself. I don't think he will be as likely to open up with your mom there. Be his sister and be honest but be tough if you have to be. Good Luck. {{{HUGS}}}

Kelly, I agree that you should be the only one there to talk to him. I hope that everything goes well. Good luck.

Kelly, knowing you, I think you will be able to get at the root of the problem. Having your Mom there would not be a good idea.

Please understand what I am saying - certainly not intended to be judgemental - but your Mom might be part of the problem only due to the divorce. Your brother may be able to share with you his deepest feelings about that time - and you just might be surprised.

Brothers and sisters can cut to the quick - get to the heart of the matter in other words.

Most of all, he needs to know that you love him unconditionally -
and I am sure you have already expressed that. Guys don't talk about love - but they need it - just like the rest of us.

I wish you good luck and great success. Your brother may feel he has had no one to talk to..........and he will need to be reassured that he has your confidence. It would have been hard for him to discuss this in front of his girlfriend.

But in all of this - don't forget to take good care of YOU..........

And remember that sometimes problems cannot be solved in just one evening.

Thanks, guys!

Seeing your faith in me to help him open up is nice...thank you.

I'll try my hardest....at least he'll know that I love him, no matter what.

Hugs,
Kelly
