Sharonlee,

I'm surprised your Mom would want you to take care of Keith. How old is he? He doesn't sound very stable. You need a lawyer, or at least, speak to the Sheriff. If the church thinks they can save Keith, then let them take him in. But you should not put yourself in that potential danger.

Please keep us informed.

SharonLee:

welcome to wonderful world of blogging. I agree with Vi too, you should stay out of your brother's business, he sounds dangerous & unstable. let church save him & you give them Keith's contact info & let them save him. you should defintely change your number & if ossible stay away from your house during th time he gets out of jail.

SharonLee,

Welcome to the blog community. I agree with Vi and Asha, let Keith fend for himself or let the church save him. He's an adult. Your concerns are that of your Mom and yourself.

The nursing home has the responsibility for protecting your Mom as she is there under their roof. Work with them so your brother can't harm her but be sure to protect yourself.

Welcome, I'll pray for you. By all means please protect yourself & Mom from an

unstable situation. I agree with Donna alert the nursing home as they have the

responsibility of your Mom and care. And I would change your phone #. And if

you feel to alert the other family members...

I didn't find a post on what happened to you as far as your stroke goes. When you have time....

I agree with VI too and when you get time introduce your self so all can welcome you to the site. I know your time is limited while taking care of your mom. I pray for you and your mom and that the proper people can be informed about your brothers release in December.

Sharonlee,

Your brother sounds alittle unstable, let the church look after him if they feel that they must. It's not your job no matter what your mother thinks, your job is you. I have a brother who spent the better part of his youth and young adulthood in jail, I bailed him many times because I felt guilty because I wasn't there to pull him out of his jackpots. I finally got to the realization that it's not my problem nor should I feel guilty that it's my obligation. It's ultimately his, and he had to clean up his act, just as your brother must. Don't let your Mother make you feel that you " must " help, I know it's easier said than done. Change your phone number, and let the nursing home know what's going on, and look after yourself.
