Do you trust someone suddenly nice?

Question

My brother was incredibly rude to me growing up. He is 15 years older than me and very bitter and angry. He always acted like if he was superior to me and everyone else. As soon as he became unemployed, and I have a decent job he became the sweetest individual on the 🌎. A kindness that is not trustworthy. He started bribing me cake and would cook for me. The problem is as soon as we would talk, he would get straight to the do you remember that connection you had? Are they hiring at your job? I think he is trying to use and than trash me after he gets what he wants? What do you think?

He will be asking for money next. Do not lend him a dime.  You get what you give in life. Give him nothing.

I think your brother is, indeed, trying to use you. Do you blame him? He's feeling lost and desperate and clutching at straws trying to find employment. Here's your chance to take the high road, get to know him better and let him get to know you better. Allow for the possibility that this situation has left him humbled. If you can squelch your impulse to "get even" for the way he treated you earlier, you will be happier with yourself.
To hold the negativity when you don't have to is childish.
Best of luck.
