bum of a brother
I'm 17, almost 18. My brother's wife left him a couple of years ago. They married young. He's around 26-27 years old.
He's homeless. Does drugs. He's surrounded himself with being a bum. He rides around on his bike, in his dirty clothes, picking up trash, trying to sell it to other people. He can't even afford his own drug addiction.
He has a new girlfriend. I didnt like her when I met her. She has two children that she doesn't have custody of. Not to mention she ALSO does drugs, and sells junk.
My mom, constantly leaves the back door open for him. They come in and they eat all our food, make a mess, and don't clean it up. My mom is a single mother, and barely has enough to support us, and it just gets me upset that THEY come in and they eat our food, and they also STEAL our things. My mom's jewlery has gone missing, her extra phone, pills, games, and etc. Obviously to be sold for drugs.
One day I locked the door, without telling my mom. He complained to her about it. And I got grounded. I got in trouble for trying to avoid having to clean up after them and trying to save our food.
We tried helping my brother. We tried getting him a job. Taking him to the doctor, but he doesn't want to help himself.
Him and his girlfriend beat each other up. I give her attitude. She doesnt deserve him and he doesn't deserve her either. I stood home from school today, and saw her making food in the kitchen, I called her a hood rat, and I texted my mom to tell her they're eating our food again.
My mom said, that as much as it bugs me, I shouldn't have been so "mean" and that he is her son, and that we have to be there for him.
What would you guys do? What do you recommend? I'm honestly at a loss here.
