family spats over the holidays :ugh:

Walked in those shoes...with my son.

Wake up call came when he broke into our house recently and we had him arrested.

Your mom needs to wake up and smell the coffee...she isn't doing him any favors by turning a blind eye to his problems. Sure it is easier to not do anything but in the long run it makes life a hell of a lot harder.

I would tell your mom she is making a choice..yes I know this sounds harsh...but she is choosing your brother's theivery over her relationship with you (and her relationship with him).

Until she makes a stand nothing will change. The stress is not worth it.
