My mum got divorced when my brother and I were 3 ...

My mum got divorced when my brother and I were 3 and 4 years old. Since then she has worked hard to give us a decent life. My brother has been having behavioural problems since then, although he is not a violent and antisocial person, he can't cope with social rules such as being punctual and follow family rules. He's 30 years old now and doesn't want to leave home to be independent. He likes skating and go out with friends. He works sometimes from home on the computer. He went to work to another city for 3 months but now he's back home. He feels attacked when my mum tells him that is for his own good to live on his own so he will grow up. He and my mum don't get along well, she complains, he reacts badly. I live in another country now with my husband but this family issue really worries me. What should my mum do? Thank you.

I think she just needs to be strict with him and tell him to move out, he will be upset to begin with but eventually he will understand.  It is possible that he suffers from behavioural problems that are not related to the divorce and could be helped by a doctor so it would be good if he went for help.

Your mom needs to stand by her convictions and tell your brother that he needs to take control of his life and move out. If she lets him stay, she is only enabling his behaviour and he will never learn to stand on his own two feet. This may threaten there relationship for awhile, but in the long run it will be for the better. Your mother needs to live her own life too.

 

Thank you very much, I know she needs to find  the courage to tell him to move out.

Thank you very much for replying, My mum did go to a see a psychologist along with my brother when he was 12 years old, but nothing has really changed,maybe it wasn't the proper psychologist. Now he won't just go to see one, it's really a pain on the neck nowadays, I'll talk to her.
