01/31 Cut 'Em Off!

Quote From: tangomango

Dr. Phil....I wish that my brother could have been on the show today!  He is such a big moocher.  He is 34, divorced, on drugs and still living at home.  My family would never want to come on the show although I have often thought about calling in myself.  I just get so upset with him sometimes because he takes all of my parents money and he doesn't hold a job.  Everything you said today is so true about love is letting them move to the next stage in life.  And my parents think they are loving him, but they are only hurting him!!!

DRUGS?!  I say kick his ass out!  Better yet, if he has drugs in the house call the police and have him arrested....he will sure have a place to live then.  Your parents are "enabling" him to stay "stuck" right where he is.  I thought love was about wanting the "best" for your children.  Have you tried talking to your brother?

I know exactly how you feel..... there is no way my family would want to "air" their dirty laundry on national tv...... And I have wanted to confront this issue, and have thought that Dr. Phil would be the best way. My grandmother has lost so much financially and physically by taking care of my brother. She complains, yet everytime his troubles come around (like being in jail) she runs to his rescue!! She knows he spends his money on drugs and alcohol, and with her footing the bill, he works just enough to have PARTY cash! What's even worse, is i tuly believe he feels he isn't doing anything wrong! It truly is sad!

he's proabably taking the wrong drugs.  if he's so unmotivated, then he needs to get off the street drugs and go to the doc. and get presc. stimulants.  if he has an addictive personality, then they need to be given once a day, possessed by family member.    the wrong drugs can make you not want to leave the couch for days.  the right 'motivating' drugs, given correctly, can make life take off on the Wings of Eagles.
