My brother is a tragedy unto himself, he lives with my father still. He is a person who as Aspergers but has been undiagnosed officialy (I only know this because one of my daughters has Aspergers and their behaviors are identical). He says that he went through the "joke" of being shot at, but I dont remember that because I was away at college when my brothers were in their teens. He is currently unemployed, is a horder and needs help. I live too far away and have too many of my own responsibilities to do much to provide that help, SO my brother and I have been trying to get my father to get him help.

I have to give my father credit for one thing, he has been very free with his money to my brothers and lets my middle brother live with him for free. My fathers wife is a decent human being so nothing bad has happend for the 10 years they have lived in the house together that I know of and my brother comes up and visits frequently.

But my other brother and I are very worried about what will happen to our brother when my father dies, which may not be too long from now because he is sick with a "progressive lung disease" which is what he calls it.

My brother who DOESNT live with him, got married has two amazing little boys who I just worship. He doesnt drink (wont touch the stuff) and is an AMAZING father.
