  • Yes I’m ok with critical feedback

    1. my aunt is poison for him; he’s almost completely non contact with her. he’s been planning to move back to the city where he got his degree and begin practicing. I thought that by now he’d be out of her life completely. I can’t bear to kick someone out of this house. I think I’m waiting for him to leave
    2. no intervention but I did tell him honestly that I don’t want to walk in on his corpse. he joked and said “no promises”. I don’t think he knows how scared I am. I’ll tell him we need to have a serious talk and verify he’s willing to listen. It’s possible he doesn’t know how much this sucks for the rest of us.
    3. he has a trust fund he withdraws from, and, honestly, I don’t know. I think he’s living with me because it’s free and he can spend all his money on booze.

    he uses my car. god. I know this sounds so pathetic. but I can’t take that away from him, even though he’s using it to get loaded. i’ve been trapped by loved ones before and I can’t force that on him.

    1. yeah. I need to be back in therapy. it’s more than I can afford. my insurance only covers 3 sessions a year. I rarely have bad days like the one above; usually I’m an optimistic guy. My family has been through a lot and I know we’ll get through this too (etc) right now I’m just tired

    Anyway thanks for the response and I appreciate the advice
