(11,467 posts)desire to "save them" all the time. It's all too easy to fall into codependency when you are a compassionate person and want to help others. Sometimes it really helps to go to meetings or even on-line meetings, like Al-anon. Even if the issue isn't alcohol, which it doesn't seem to be in this case, I think Al-Anon is a good resource for anyone who might be struggling to establish healthy boundaries with family members and a great source of comfort and support.
Sometimes I think every person should be in meetings like those just because our society is so crazy lately, we could all use the support.
I hope your brother will be okay but the only thing you can do is give him a list of resources/choices and it will be up to him to choose. I hope that you will be able to have a happy life and feel okay inside, no matter what choices he makes.
