How to cope with a MLM-programmed sibling?
Ever heard of Al-Anon? Originally founded to help families and friends of alcoholics cope with the effects of alcoholism, its ideas and principles can help many others. Clearly, you’re being radically affected by your brother’s actions. Ultimately, that’s YOUR problem, not his. I say this with no judgment and the greatest compassion. So, the bottom line is that you must take action yourself, regardless of any changes he does or does not make. Alanon zeroes in on dealing with OUR powerlessness in the face of someone else’s behavior. It’s saved my ass from alcoholics, love-gone-bad relationships, violence, and a myriad of other things. I wish you the best!
