Accept that you can't change them and never will.
The only thing you can control is how YOU react to them.
Keep a distance.
Unfortunately dealing with the same thing as well

This sounds like it has potential for some interesting stories. Give some details of their victimhood rants please.
he's my brother
screaming at me about how dogwood flowers got knocked off a tree with tennis rackets by me and my buddy (when I was 11?) and Dad blamed him - ???? - a grown man saying this shite about something from 40 years ago... ?
yelling at me because for the second time in his life, a financial advisor office barred him from the office and cut off the relationship, because he loves screaming at people - ETA: I'm the one who was trying to guide him on financial advice one who to got to.
he's also be classified not eligible for rehire by at least two companies, and of course that's everyone else's fault except his
....
Dude, I could write a tl:dr and it would be tip of the iceberg

Try C.O.D.A. I can't speak more highly of it. Most people don't have the guts to finish the program. F you do, itll solve virtually all of your problems. It's free, and yet under utilized. The truth is, you can't change them. You can; however, control you. If you're a practicing Christian, in my experience, the answer is "love them from a distance." It may have been their fault the first time you were burned with them, but if you stick around just hoping they will change, then perhaps you should seek answers within, as to why you are sticking around.

My #1 priority is my wife and children. Nobody is going to bring any of them down. Nobody. If I see dangerous or irresponsible behavior that could affect them I am very sorry but that person won’t be having contact with them anymore. They can deal with me? Yes I will speak to them but that’s it.

Lies = no trust.
No trust = no relationship.
The liar needs to make a choice.
You need to draw the line. Boldly.

He won't change. Just keep that in mind whenever you're dealing with him. Probably best to keep your distance. These kinds of people love dragging down everyone with them.
Posted on 3/30/25 at 8:13 pm to Harry Rex Vonner
Call them and wish them a happy birthday or Merry Christmas. Keep the call under 5 minutes unless they’re being rational.
Beyond that, not much you can do.

You cannot choose to keep a person like that in your life.

Write them off. Completely.

This weekend hit me like a tidal wave.
I was ok after my Mom died. But my Aunt, so soon after, was a ton of bricks. And this will sound so stupid, but my Dad put down the diabetic cat that was with my Mom when she died.
Thank you so much for asking. Thoughts and prayers with you after your wife's passing.
I guess you get to a certain age when death calls.

The easy answer? Block his calls.
