Worried about my boyfriend's brother...

[Phoenix969]

Hello everyone.

There's something very wrong going on.

So my boyfriend's brother,let's call him Caleb, is known to us to be a liar but he was not always like that. He started lying, not opening up to anyone and being quite distant just a few years ago, after he started dating his girlfriend.

Today my boyfriend's father called my boyfriend and told him that the situation is getting worse. Caleb and his father own a shop and they share a bank account that can only be used for the shop. The father went to the bank today to check on the bank account and he noticed that a RIDICULOUS amount of money was missing.

( By the way Caleb is studying in another town at the moment and only goes to his fathers' town during the summer.) So the father called Caleb and asked him what happened to the money. He said that he used them to pay for university.

The father phoned the university because he didn't believe him and the teachers told him that Caleb didn't go to university last year nor this year.

We're all very worried. My boyfriend thinks that Caleb's girlfriend, let's call her Skylar, is not a good person and that she's probably involved too.( By the way, she's extremely insecure.)

Caleb won't open up nor get any help and I think that he's possibly depressed or something and maybe involved in something serious. I don't know. It's very serious. We are all very worried and we don't know what to do. We have to learn what's the truth somehow. Any advise?

Hello Phoenix969, this situation must be very distressing for the whole family and is a very difficult one to know what's best to do with. You are trying your best with Caleb but if he is not opening up and he is distant and the situation is being complicated by his girlfriend perhaps his father and brother together can try and talk to him about the situation. In the meantime it is important that you keep looking after yourself. Take care

Hello and thanks for your answer.

His father,brother or mother are going to try and talk to him yet we're afraid that he still won't open up OR tell the truth.

We don't trust Skylar very much since he started acting weird after they started dating and she might know something. Maybe she's involved. She never expressed concern. Nevertheless someone is going to talk to her,on private, as well. Thank you for your advise.
