Can you offer advice on my situation with my younger brother?

1 Answer

Answer :

He’s old enough to make his own choices so it’s not like you would be turning your back on him. He needs to want to leave her bullshit behind 100% on his own, otherwise he will just end up going back to her. The best thing you can do is make sure he understands you will be there for him when he’s ready to move on.
