I'm so angry and just don't know what else to do anymore! My brother is 17 and going through a rebellious period where he leaves the house for days, breaks curfew, doesn't communicate, is involved in 'activity', and his friends are just bad bad news!
He doesn't care about what his family thinks about his new lifestyle and doesn't care that he's hurting everyone.
My wedding is in a little over 2 months and I can't help but be so angry that he's ruining whats suppose to be a happy time for our family.
I've tried explaining my heart to him and tried telling him how much he's hurting his family but he just doesn't care! My mom is starting to get depressed and I don't know what else to do or say! I can't spend all of my time and energy caring for someone who doesn't want to be cared for! I love my brother but I'm very bitter toward him right now and can only pray he is ok.
WHY ME!!!!

I feel like family can't handle the attention not being on them. It Sucks but since you already tried talking to him, there isn't much else you can do. I'm sorry. :(

Went through the same thing with my brother and still going through this and hes almost 25. All you can do is be there for your parents. Let them know that you are there and care about them. As far as your brother is concerned just ignore it. My brother has told me hes not coming to my wedding a few times and I just said ok then dont come. Dont let his dumb teenage years mess up your special day.

FI's brother is like this and hes 35! Hes never had to do anything for himself a day in his life. It is what it is.. At some point hes going to suffer the consequences of his actions. In FBIL's case, he wont have a relationship with me or his brother after the wedding if he keeps up his antics. Hopefully your brother will snap out of it before it gets to that point. Keep your chin up! It will all work out!
