They called the police on me while I was psychotic, I was handcuffed and sent to the hospital. So, they know the necessary avenues to get help for themselves if they want to. They can call the police on him if necessary also. Or, they can ask around for help. They are not stupid and not so disabled. My father is still working and my mother is still actively driving around and doing chores. I've decided to let them be and do what they want. Although my brother seems to be taking advantage of them, they are allowing him to do so. I can't help them if they feel this way. I also have my own problems here. I am too far away to do anything for them. I feel bad about the situation. However, I've decided to live for myself and let them do as they please.

I wanted to jump in and say that unfortunately unless you decide to take the reigns yourself and insert yourself into their daily lives its just going to stay the same or get worse. Im not saying you are required to uproot your whole life and care for them I am just saying that no matter what you say or do, if you arent there it will fall on deaf ears.
