Maybe he should have taught them to be self-supporting so he didn't have to. Poor Mike and poor you. I hate this for you. I hope he backs off.kenjuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07342414519714356343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2315622674616774363.post-44850409175039703602016-07-25T11:02:27.147-05:002016-07-25T11:02:27.147-05:00For the time being I'm just sitting and waitin...For the time being I'm just sitting and waiting to see what comes next. I'm trying so hard not to let this hurt my relationship with my older brother. Life is too short and I don't want to harbor any resentment toward anyone. Florence, my husband said the same thing that giving my older brother any money would just be a "temporary" fix for his problems. Until he stops supporting all those kids he will stay broke.oklhdanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371904174197202740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2315622674616774363.post-88950226335893976402016-07-25T10:27:46.518-05:002016-07-25T10:27:46.518-05:00You know that even if the house were sold and your...You know that even if the house were sold and your older brother received his share of the proceeds, that he would be broke again in short order. If he has gone broke taking care of his and his wife's grown children, they will blow through the money in no time at all. Then he is still broke and Mike is out of his secure home. Frankly, I would be tempted to fight it and let your older brother know that anything he got would be taken by the lawyer's fees. But I do hope he will come to his senses and leave well enough alone.

This is certainly something you do not need on your plate now or ever. Your daughters are precious and must be such a comfort.
