Brother is doing OK. He told me he has a few issues to clean up at home before making a decision. He's also at a new job and wants to make sure he clears probation before he makes any decision. He's lived in such a sh!tty situation for so long I think he just forgets how sh!tty it is. He told me he felt he'd been doing well with it up until now and I said "you are doing well, but you are just surviving. It's like a soldier in the battle field, you do what you have to do to survive but it's afterwards you deal with all the fallout. This is same thing and the longer you stay the more of you self esteem and confidence chips away" Again, I told him it's his life and his decision to make but, in my mind, enough is enough! We'll see where this goes. Sometimes when you see yourself as strong, as I did, you put up with way more crrap than you should or is really healthy for you. You start to get off on being "Superman" the guy who can handle anything. It's not a good syndrome to get caught up in but sometimes it's just hard to know where to draw the line. Been there, done that.
