I have an older brother who sold drugs and got into trouble.
He is the typical Scorpio. Main problems w/ him are his trust issues against the world and him being so guarded.

He kinda sprung all this on me and It makes me sad because hes so smart and he is in a great university but he is choosing a path that is now putting him in harms way. He was dealing drugs and I guess something happened where him and a few other friends —messed?? up the drugs they were given and know owe whom ever a ton of money by a certain date or else something is about to happen.

My brother has been stressed all summer and has been working like crazy to come up with this money.

Im real worried so I offered to help him with his other bills that he still has to pay on top of what he owes. My problem is that he doesn't open up to me. One week he is good and happy with me and than the next week he barley talks to me and acts like he could care less about anything. I told him I would help him when I could. I finally asked him why hes being cold and he said he needs ppl in his life right now that are going to help him and not worry about ppl that —want?? to help him. I told him once more that I would when I had money.

Finally when I did and gave it to him he said he really appreciated it and his mood changed a bit. Than a week or so after that he came to me and told me he needed my help again and I said okay Ill do whatever I can. Well today I told him I had money for him as well as possibly more on Saturday to give him. I texted him back saying —ok— and he finally texts me back saying —its up to you??. I don't understand how one moment he needs me to be there for him and gets mad at me when I wasn't to asking me for help to than acting like it doesn't bother him on what I do. I know he is stressed and im trying to understand but I don't get his behavior and why hes making things so difficult. He wont let me be there for him and im confused on how I should because hes so hot and cold. Im afraid to back off because I don't want him to think I didn't care. I am pist hes even in this situation.

What do I do? How do I deal with this hot and cold? Its like he says he needs me but than when I try to be there he pushes me away and acts like he doesn't care. Than says I don't understand or see how serious this is.

Hes my brother my blood my world. I know this is BAD and im pist he did this but what do I do? Advice really needed because I c

Haha..I can so relate to you're brother...But basically P Angel nailed it..you will never get the emotional gratifcation you seem to need from him for 2 reasons..

1. He's a Guys..thats a little soft to run to your sister for help when you're in trouble (thats up there with my girlfriend beating up someone because I couldn't)

2. Pride

The reason he's hot in cold about this is simple...We don't like asking for help at all and when we do..we've come to the conclusion that we can't do it ourselves and that we HAVE to ask for help...We literally have to be forced into the situation. Also, it seems like he feels bad for needing your help in this regard. I hate asking for things..especially money. We like to do it on our own..as far as him snapping at you.."I'm not worried about who wants to help me later but who can help me now" kind of statements..that's just stress and at that moment..he thought you were going to be the actual solution to his problem..hearing he has to wait a little longer probably irritated him a little. All in all..just tell him to keep hustlin and watch his ass...He'll get everything straight..us dark side Scorpios always find away..its just usually in crunch time :-| I've been in the exact same spot...Just help anyway he allows you too..if all he wants is money, then so be it..he's not gonna lay on a couch and confess all his drug dealing issues so hang it up.

Well i am a scorp and i did the drug game...sounds kike he may have a problem as well i did and eventually ended up in rehab! Fortunately it
Only took me one trip, but i did wait 14 yrs...i eventually haf to go to my older bro for 16k to fix a situation with an italian guy...then 2 yrs later my dad had to fix another one that was abiut 10k...scorps always always think we can fix it on its own when it goes way wrong is when we get emotional and hate to ask for help...scorps amd drugs dont mix we can sell the shit out of them and be the man, but when getn high we do it all amd have to be the best at getn high! I see this now full circle! It masks the yearning feeling wr live with...get him help now and he will thank u later

Thank you this reply helped so much! If you can relate to him a little bit than maybe i am the one over reacting. I think the pride thing is a huge aspect of this other than him just being un emotional. He is my older brother and I have never seen him in this kind of dark light so to speak. I guess now looking at it I can see how it would be more uncomfortable for him than me. I appreciate your answer as it helped me put a better aspect on it rather than thinking I was doing something wrong.

Thank you so so so much

All above seem on the right track.

If you really want to help, you should:

Determine the amount owed.
If it is within your reach - you take the $ $ $ to whoever.
Why? That way your addict brother won't spend it on drugs
and end up getting hurt or killed AND you are out the $ $ $ .

There is indeed high probability that if he was not doing
drugs before the problem, then he is now, due the stress.

Do not confront him about it until AFTER this issue is over.
