My controlling 42-year-old brother keeps taking money from my struggling mother. How can I stop him taking advantage of her? CAROLINE WEST-MEADS has the answer

Daily Mail​17-07-2025
Q My mother, who is widowed and in her late 70s, keeps bailing out my younger brother financially. This is despite not being well-off herself and my brother being 42 and perfectly able to get a job.
He and his wife live near my mother whereas my husband and I are 100 miles away. He has never really worked or been responsible for himself, even though he has a wife and children. They are on benefits and don't seem to have ever wanted to work.
