Try treating your relative with the respect you expect to be treated with – a human being. Then pray for him. It is the continual judgement of him which keeps him shackled to his pain of addiction and hence his continued behaviour.
Ask yourself how Jesus would treat him and follow what you believe Jesus might do if he were in your shoes.
Bless this man for it is the pain and suffering of his addiction that leaves him with his behavioural millstone.
Bless both of you and all of your family.

He gave up his addictions to drugs and alcohol 20 years ago but his behavior hasn’t changed.

I wish it could be this way with our so called “black sheep”. Some people don’t want to learn how to fish. They don’t want help managing that government check. They got it spend by the middle of the month on booze, alcohol, and fast food – then beg, borrow, and steal until the first of the next month. Then the same thing happens again. How does one help people like this???

Respectfully,
