I just don't know what to say or do. My brother has six daughters and five babies mothers. However, I can assure you these girls have the best the best - I pay for day care, dance, basketball and a host of other things just tokeep them involved and motivated. I don't know how to change wrongs to rights for everyone but for me, knowing my Brother is not the person he should be, I do all I can for these six girl to ensure the cycle does not continue. And when my Brother has a male child, which I'm sure he will at some point, I will do the same thing. Perhaps we should all try to foster one child at a time to break the cycle for men and AA as a whole.

Dear Prof. I applaud your efforts with helping your brother for HIS responsibility, which he is avoiding for whatever reason...
I think you are making some inroads to staving off the situation at least in your immediate family... That is the best each of us educated AA can do given the circumstances...
It sounds like your brother is playing dangerously with his life... The next time he impregnants a woman stupid enough to want to have his child, he might become HIV+ by that time... Then all his little girls as well as his new child will have no father--which may or may not be that much different as it is now...
How long are you going to back him up to do wrong and why is that your responsibility? When is he going to take charge of his own life and make postive choices for himself other than a pregnancy test or an AIDS test? Just asking? I really want to know, because I have a lunatic fringe brother also who is beginning to neglect his ONE son because he says he no longer loves his son's mother he's married to, currently... Moreover, his fodder he uses to justify why he treats his son's mother chitty is because she is caucasian and his son is biracial...
