Brother Troubles
I hope this will be over soon. I am trying to get my brother so that he has to handle his own bills and doesn't have to bother me all the time with things.
He says he has one more family bill I need to pay that is on his credit card. Something he had purchased for the family back when he was helping take care of things. I want to pay it and be done with him, After this all the bills on the card will be his.
But he has said he would call me and come over to deal with it yesterday and then never did. Last night he called and said he would call me today and so far at almost 2pm he hasn't yet. He could have done it last night when he had left his car at my parents house and came back for it while I was there but did not come up to do it.
I want to get him out of my life as much as I can and he, on purpose or not, keeps stringing it out and stressing me out.

Finally, my brother came by. It took him three days to do it. He wants to have me write his checks every month (he will pay for i them) so he can save the cost of having a checking account. I told him I didn\'t want to do it, that he should have his own bank account. He said I was being mean to him and that I haven\'t done anything for him since this all started. I pointed out that I had done everything he had asked except for two things even if I may have argued with him about some of them. And he agreed and apologized.
I let him know that I was stressed out and dint want to have to deal with his bills.
The whole time he was here and I was writing the four checks. I was shaking. I told him it felt like everyone was asking me to do everything for them. And he said that he hadn\'t really thought about what I was dealing with and that I was doing alot and again apologized.
I\'m still thinking he is a manipulative, arrogant bully but it felt nice to hear it even if it perhaps wasn\'t sincere but only to get me to go along with him this time and maybe the next time he asks.
