OK so what am I supposed to do about it?!
Question: My older brother got married a few months ago. He has a newborn in the hospital with intestinal and kidney problems and a four year old step son. Unfortunatlly he also has a drug and alchohol problem. He quit for a while but recently started up again. He has been going to our moms house getting drunk and smoking pot and crack while his wife and step son sit at home alone worrying. I told her she needs to leave him but I dont see why she keeps ask me for advice, I mean first of all I only 16 and 2nd she knew he was a selfish loser and druggie when she met him. So what am I expected to do? I really cant help her.
BTW: Before people start saying I shouldn't call him a selfish loser because he has a dependency problem I have to say that he was a selfish loser before the drugs anyway.

the only thing you can do is support your new nephews and your sis-in-law but not with money b/c she's gonna give it to her junkie hubby. good luck with your nephew.
let her know what you think, and let her choose, you might not be able to change things.
Where is your mom when he comes over to smoke crack? That needs to stop right there. There is nothing you can do but be there for your sister in law. It is up to her how much she will take. All you can do is be there to support her, and not enable your brother in any way. Good luck!
get him professional help . Sorry i guess tht's all u can do
Talk to your brother. Tell him that he needs to take care of his family and make him go to rehab. There is a lot you CAN do. It doesn't matter what age you are. Talk to a responsible adult and tell them that you are worried about your brother.
Tell your sister in law to talk to him too. If he is constantly being pressured to stop drinking and doing drugs and grow up then he might. Is your mom responsible? Because she doesn't need to be letting him do these things, especially in her house!
Only your sister in law can decide to leave him for herself but if she really loves him then she is the best person to work it out.
Best of luck.
