Should I Stop Buying Groceries for My Addicted Brother? 🤔💔

Living with my mom and brother used to feel like home, but everything changed when his addiction took over. 😔 We were close once - chatting over drinks, sharing stories. Now? He's been unemployed for three years, hiding in his room, and we barely speak. Here's what really gets to me: every week I handle our family's online grocery shopping since Mom isn't tech-savvy. But my brother? He completely ignores me and hands his list directly to Mom - even though I'm the one doing the actual shopping and paying with my own money! 💸 The worst part? His lists always include alcohol. I'm literally funding his addiction while he can't even look me in the eye or say more than 'hello' in passing. 🍺😞 I'm torn between family loyalty and enabling his destructive behavior. Is it wrong to want to stop buying his groceries? Would setting this boundary make me a bad sister, or is it finally time to stop being part of the problem? Have you ever felt trapped between helping family and protecting your own peace? I'd love to hear your thoughts. 💭 #FamilyBoundaries #AddictionSupport #SiblingRelationships #FamilyRelationships
