Hi, I noticed your story as I really can relate. I too have a brother who is 12 years older than me, yet has a huge problem with alcoholism. He has never moved out of our family home and I worry for my parents as they’re reaching retirement age. My brother is showing no signs of reaching out for help or calming down. I am moving city next year but so scared to in case he hurts our parents. He has just broken my dads rib in a drunken rage and I’m at my wits end. Sorry for the rant, it’s just rare to find a similar story with the addiction problem belonging to a sibling rather than a parent. I really hope all works out for you.
