My younger brother is in his mid 20's, living at home with my parents. We have recently discovered He is an alcoholic, as well as suffering from anxiety and depression, which we knew about. As a family we have given him as much support as we can, my dad managed to get him a very good job, bought him a car, set him up with a savings investment that will pay out a very good lump
Sum for a deposit for his own place in a few years time. As well as paying for him to see a private counsellor and psychiatrist.
My parents are at breaking point, my brother is arrogant and becoming more and more aggressive! He says that he can sort himself out and then does nothing! My mum drives him to all his appointments and my dad has emptied the house of any alcohol.
He is going to lose his job if he is joy careful as he is already on his final warning for being drunk at work. My dad has taken away my brothers car keys so he can't drive drunk and is taking him to and from work when he decides he can face going in.
I really don't know what I can do to help, my dad is almost at the point of throwing him out as it's making my mum ill ( and I suspect my dad too!) does he have to become homeless before he will help himself? He is my little brother and I love him, but I feel I can't talk to him as we will fall out! We are lost as a family and don't know what to do. Anyone been in a similar situation and have any advice?
