I am not about to become his mother, I have enough problems of my own right now. But there will be house rules when he comes to live here. The two main ones will be he HAS to take his meds regularly and he HAS to go for counselling. He has a good job so, other than the first little while he is with us, that he might not be working, he will be busy most of the week. It was in the evenings that caused him the most stress. Nothing to do, all alone, depressed - that's when he would go out gambling.

If he is with us, there is lots I can get him to do around the house to help me or we can just socialize - which he needs too

Unfortunately, my brother has always been rather weak in being able to speak out and stand up for himself, especially when it comes to taking care of himself personally (i.e. doctors etc.) He has no problem if he thinks he has been wronged, i.e. like his wrongful dismissal suit he has going.

I will be seeing him today, and H is coming with me this time so it will be interesting to see what he thinks
