Therapist: Learn to ask for help.

Me: Ok. Brother, will you have my back with setting boundaries for mom so that I can regain my health and continue to take care of her so you won't have to?

Brother: Please supply a 25-page paper with credible citations proving you need help while I pepper you with trite advice you've already tried because I don't really think you've thought this through. Also, I can't take care of her, and you threatening to not take care of her is an ultimatum.
