at least keep him occupied, it's better than he sitting at home and sink deeper into depression, right? -
Last year, my brother literally stayed at home for 9 months. Now thankfully he got a job. He is also more cheerful now. He is now trying to save up more money. He used up quite a bit of his savings last year.

Good to hear that your brother is okay now!

I hate to dig up this thread.
Just do not know what to do with my brother. He is already in his mid 30s but he seems to be still in a slacking mode. Work not going smoothly. Attitude sucks. Wife divorcing him. Now selling house. Always complaining about life being unfair to him.
He made all these wrong choices. Who to blame except himself? How to help him?
He is always saying that my money comes easy. He never thinks about how I establish myself in the last 10 years. -
Probably need some counsellor who can guide him on how to reflect on why things didn’t worked out his way.

Now when my brother calls, I get my son or hubby to talk to him. The sound of his voice irks me. I only respond to him on watsapp. Even then, I get fuming mad. -
:hugs: Sorry to hear that it is back again.
Has he sought any counselling or even seen a psychiatrist? -
Your brother has nothing but self-pity for himself.
This attitude problem has to stop before more damage is done. He needs some sense to be knocked into him, that is, he can only save himself, not others. At his age, he should wise up and start to think for others, especially his loved ones, not waste life away by wallowing in self-pity. That will give him some direction in life and it will help him see life from a different perspective. True courage is when you learn to pick yourself up and get out from the doldrums of life.
Meanwhile, pray for him.
