I don't know what to do. My parents are in their 80s and aging fast. They say they will visit me but can't even manage their daily chores without a lot of pain and effort. I am getting worried about my brother.
He is living off my parents and has not been vaccinated. He does not want to find a job outside my family's business and wants my father to continue working. The problem is my brother can't do the work of my father's and is rather incompetent at everything he does. He is reaching 60 years old and never has had a real job. I am afraid he is waiting for my parents to die and take over everything.
My parents are really weak and depend on him to go to the doctor. I don't know what to do. He is not doing his best to take care of himself let alone take care of my parents. I want to help but am in no shape to do anything from where I'm living except to continue working and taking care of myself.
My brother has five degrees in all kinds of areas but has never used any of them to get a job. I am seeing the picture of what is happening to my parents and am afraid since he is living with them that he is going to take over everything although he can barely take care of himself. He used to make fun of me for having a mental illness, yet he does not work himself and does not want to live outside the house. He just leeches off my parents. My parents depend on him for rides and other minor chores/ tasks, but he is overall not doing too much. He can't run the family business nor find a job that will support him. I am afraid he is turning into a real leech and is waiting for my parents' demise. I am not really expecting anything from my parents but am worried that their last days may be horrible. My father is still worried about my brother and says if he does not work, my brother can't support himself. Our family is a real mess. I am actually doing better than my lazy brother who is waiting for a hand-out. I can't really believe this is happening but it scares me that my brother who has about over half a million dollars in debt is waiting for them to die. My mother is riddled with pain and aches and can't sleep. She also won't go to the doctor. I don't know what to do. I'm listening to what my brother does at home- he sleeps, eats like a pig, and is always on the internet. When he supposedly helps my dad, he disappears for hours then returns to pretend he is working. Does anybody have any suggestions about what I can do? Or, should I just watch in horror and allow my brother to take over everything when he can't even take care of himself?
