Does your parents know he's your abuser? Has he tried therapy (not sure how it would help a sociopath)--even forced into therapy? Is there any family members he could stay with other than your parents?
From the sound of it, your parents are enabling him. If they keep letting him move back in then he's not going to learn how to handle things on his own. They need to put their foot down and say enough is enough get your own place. Or tell him he can only stay a certain amount of time and when that time is up they need to tell him he has to find another place to live. Sounds like he needs some tough love!
What happens in a month?
Lots and lots of safe, soothing, comforting

Someone tell me this isn't happening!  I was just starting to make progress in talking about the abuse. Every time he moves back in, I backslide. I clam up, isolate, get more depressed...this isn't fair! 
I only have a month left. Doesn't seem like that much, but couldn't my parents make him suck it up and make it on his own for that long?? He over-exaggerates if it suits him (he's a sociopath), and always comes running to mommy and daddy whenever life gets too hard. He's lost like 5 jobs in the last 6 months--no joke. He's almost 20! I get not wanting to shove him out of the door right after his 18th birthday, but when does it get to "grow the f*** up and take responsibility"??????
This makes me so MAD!!!!! |
