Caring for my brother, tired

#1 · November 2, 2026, 7:47 am

After our parents passed, I became the one who answers every late night call from my brother, who's trying to stay clean. Last week I snapped at him over nothing and felt awful. Where do siblings find support so they don't crash? Open to suggestions for family recovery groups or resources in upstate New York.

Being the dependable sibling can quietly take a toll. My friend was in the same position with his younger brother and eventually realized he couldn't be available every single night. He joined a family support group, learned to set boundaries and found that their relationship actually improved. I also found counselor Ticonderoga NY while looking for local resources. Might be worth asking whether they offer family counselling or support groups.
