I know where you're coming from on this. My brother has done some really stupid things and gotten in trouble with the law. MOST of the things happened after he was 18 but a few happened while he was 17 and still at home. After the first while when my parents called me to tell me all about the trouble he was into and I found myself helpess and stewing about it I eventually told them to not share any information not necessary for me to hear. I still end up hearing all about stuff but I'm not drawn into the fights and problems half as much. I still care about my little brother but at this point, for my health and my own family (husband and child) I need to let my parents deal with his problems as they see fit. I do not think my parents are nearly as strict as they should be, they are much more forgiving and bail him out of trouble way too often. BUT unless it is seriously harming my parents it is not my business. So I TRY to stay out. The temptation is always there but I am getting better.
