She needs a friend or therapist on board for extra emotional support if she's going to respond to the overture and I'm annoyed Pay Dirt didn't mention that.
Personally I would respond to the overture at face value, leaving off the advance boundary setting. Because if the brother doesn't already know he owes her an apology and a promise not to sponge off her any more, there's no reason for her to give him a free clue.
