I was always embarrassed about our house growing up too. It was small, cramped, and ugly. Mom was NOT the best housekeeper either. It wasn't littered, but it wasn't clean either. And she NEVER allowed my friends in the house. What was I supposed to tell my friends when they came over?  Consequently, I never asked kids to come home with me. 
You shouldn't have to be the "keeper" of your brother. Afterall, you're not his Mother ~ but thank God you care enough about him to wonder where he is !!! I'm sure it IS stressful for you. Do you like music? That was the ONLY thing that got me thru at my home -- music would soothe my tender nerves. Back in my day (lol) rock & roll was the "thing" but I was listening to old music like Frank Sinatra, Big Band music, slow music, - I was a weird teenager. LOL I still like that kind of music - anything from the 40's is my kind of music and I didn't even live back then. LOL
I hope you can find some way to relax. Prayers are coming your way. God bless. Hugs, Lee
