I'm very sorry. He's got a great sis though, and you can teach him a lot. Have you given him the book yet? He will hear what you have to say, but people usually will heed the advice of a professional before they heed a friend or family member.
yes, definitely do something nice for yourself. That stinks that you didn't get to go to your mardi gras plans. It's nice that you are being there for your bro, but don't forget about you and your own M. Also, maybe it would help to just take him out somewhere, get him distracted? she had kicked him out right? I can't remember. Has he made any progress for himself? (not the M, but for him specifically)
