It is really coming to a head due to recent lying!

Answer 1

I absolutly think an intervention is due. My brother got away with so much stuff when he was younger, that now he just thinks it's perfectly okay. He deny's everything and usually get's away with it because it started so early. Dont let him grow to get out of hand.

Answer 2

yeah you can try, if that dont work you will just have to shut the spring

the way to go about it is calling a psycholog, he will talk to all of you beforehand to get oversigth and estimate it, and then guide on how to set up the intervention

the problem here is the guy is adult so you cant really force him to stay if he descide to walk out, like you can with a kid

but you can try...you need a pro to mediate though

Answer 3

Your brother, although grown up is not a man but still a kid. There are children involved that are more important now than the adults. Stop supporting with money.  Your responsibility lies with the kids. You need to make sure they are cared for and intervene when necessary,even when you have to call CPS. Other than that, there isn't much you can do but pray for them. They are adults whether you like the living conditions or not and if they can't make the rent they will have to take the responsibility.

Answer 4

throw him out a night sleeping on the street clears peoples heads quick
