Do you have an adult sibling living with you?
Posted on 01/26/09, 09:16 am
I'm 25, married and a homeowner. My brother is 21, has bipolar and has been living with my husband and I for 6 months. I have spent that six months trying to get him services and a new place to stay but there's so little help in our area and everything takes months to get approved and accepted. The stresses of having to referee he and my husband are sometimes too hard, sometimes I just lose it. I stick up for him because it's what I've always done even when I shouldn't, which causes disagreements. I'm scared to get pregnant because I'm afraid the stress will cause me to miscarry. Has anyone ever successfully had a sibling move in, get help and move out? I just need some encouragement here.
