@Blinding: I don't want to assume things, but for whatever reason your family didn't want you brother to be taken to a psychiatric ward, it wouldn't make you a bad family, and not seeing the problems doesn't either. In a hospital, they have more power to monitor him, and can prescribe him medication and observe the results in real-time, not the disjointed views of a one-a-week psychiatrist. I stayed in one for a week myself 4 years ago, and honestly it really helped. You meet people like you, and you realize that your feelings aren't uncommon. He might not want to go, but I really think it would be best for him. I'm sorry if this is offensive or presumptive in any way.
@Kovu: I don't understand your girfriend
If she feels like people treat her like a money tree, then she is probably either overly generous, or a push over about lending money, but if she would be as demanding and rude as she was to you about the situation, it doesn't seem like she is that sort of person. If you clearly stated that money was an issue (which she should already know, dating you), and you never said that she would have to pay if you couldn't, just that you wouldn't be able to do anything. So she is really over-reacting, in an unbecoming way. It just makes her seem very greedy.
@Misskin: Honey, it's totally okay to be okay and happy when other people aren't, it's just the way of the world. There will always be those with problems, and it is important to celebrate your own happiness. Sacrificing your happiness won't help those that don't have it. The best thing you can do is just be understanding and listen when people need it, which is what you're already doing. You deserve to be happy.
