my brother conned my mother out of a good amt of money several years ago. He believes himself to be a good hard working person. I reminded him of this telling him he's not the superior person he believes himself to be do you think he might get a conscience and offer to repay my mother or at least say sorry?

Bonny C I'm not sure what you mean. My mother doesn't support my sister because they enjoy each other's company my sister chooses not to work because she doesn't want to live by someone else's rules(wouldn't we all) My brother lied and manipulated to get money from my mom she doesn't know that. Thank you for any input though.

I have heard that before don't lend anything and expect it back. So I don't lend anything. If you were going to keep it you should have said can I have instead of borrow. My mom didn't lend any money he lied and said he totalled his car, he was in college, and of course he had no money so the money she had to support her other children she used to help him out. I appreciate your thoughts. I just don't think anyone can convince me what he did she allowed to happen to herself or that it's acceptable behavior. At 42 y.o. he should step up to the plate and take responsibility. The real reason this bothers me is his self-proclaimed superiority, hard-working, I am responsible attitude. Sometimes people need to be reminded they're not as perfect as they think they are.

No. The lesson here is never expect family or friends to repay you.
There is a story where ( I made these names up) Paul lent someone a book and he asked for it back. Sam had lost it and Paul wanted him to pay for a replacement, which Sam refused to do. Paul asked him why he would be willing to risk the friendship by not replacing the book. Sam asked him why he would be willing to risk the friendship by expecting him to do so!!!
So....I'm afraid, your mother should forget about the money!!
If she couldn't afford to give him the money she should have said no. Unfortunately most people will not repay debts.

No one can ever repay their parents kindness. So, we must definately respect them. You'll never going to find anyone love you more than your parents in this world.
