THE LETTER Guest 

Dear Mapaseka
I am a 33 year old mother of an 8 year old son and 6 year old daughter and raising them with my husband. My 26 year old brother has recently moved in with us as he is
looking for work and had been struggling to land one in our home province.

I'm raising my family in the North West with my husband and my brother is finding it difficult to find the exact corporate job he is hoping for post graduation; he is picky
and not willing to take any work in the meantime. My husband has been telling him to even look for any work from being a driver to call centre or reception. He is not interested and says he did not graduate with honours in law to be doing menial jobs. He sits at home all day and emails his cv and he helps around the house when he is asked.

I used to ask him to pick up the kids from school but stopped as I see he now drinks alcohol in his room and I can’t trust he is driving sober. He accused my husband of
cheating saying he saw him with a woman in his car. My husband denied this saying it was a colleague. Now my husband wants him out of our house and my mother back
at home insists that I have to help my brother and I cannot choose my husband over family.

I am so conflicted and no longer have peace in my home; yet it's difficult to send him back to rural Mpumlanga to look for work. I left my family to be far from everyone so I don’t have to be part of these issues now they have followed me.

What can I do Mapaseka?
