I agree you have absolutely no obligation to let anyone abuse you.

You have shown them love
and that is the best that you can do. It is time to concentrate on your own.

Symph,
Sorry for the late reply. You did your best by those kids and it's time to let go. There is nothing more you can do. I am sure your brother is not happy about the situation but would definitely encourage you to walk away. You know that in your heart and in your head. Listen to it.

You are so right when you say that your first responsibility is to your own children. Some people just can't be helped until they WANT to be helped for real. Don't think these kids are quite there yet. Do not feel bad for trying; now you're wiser for the experience, so it wasn't wasted after all. You did the right thing all the way around.

A tender heart towards your brother and loving memories of him makes it difficult to deal with life as it has become now. I'm afraid that even if you move on, this will not be the last you hear from them. You will certainly be dealing with this situation off and on for the rest of your life. That's kind of the way things go. Do the best you can and save most of your energy for your own children.

Sometimes breaking contact helps....and who knows? distance may make the

Wow, Symph....
I feel for you -- can't imagine what any of that's like, but I would have to say you have done all that anyone could do. Don't feel bad about anything and do what you have to do.
I know, I know; easy for me to say, right?
Take care!

I believe you have done all you and it truly feels like he did not want help but to use you! You have your family to worry about and just know that you did all you could possibly do and let it go! sam

I know it must be hard for you knowing they are you brothers children and once were close to them. They make their own bad decisions, no one is really to blame for what they do but themselves. Take care of yourself and those kids of yours

Dear one it is way past time to let them all go. If you see him, turn him in immediately. You have done a good job with yourself and your children, they can only damage that. You have worked so hard to have a strong life, don't let them come into it and mess it up. It was not your fault that your brother died. It was not your fault that his life was a wreck. You are a very courageous woman and need help and protection. I am not going to get on your case for God's sake you have gone the extra mile so many times. It is time you let God take some of that load off your back. I am still praying for you. I know you will come through with flying colors.
