I have a house he can live in rent free, he can find a job here, and our parent has offered to help him as well -but he just keeps going back to her.

The older I get, the more I think the natural human fear of change is what keeps most people in miserable situations.
I’m struggling with it myself in leaving my ableist workplace—hence the setting of a deadline to leave a couple months ago. The deadline is still in force and I’m still preparing for it practically and mentally.
