I hope I put this thread in the right place. If not, please feel free to direct me.
My brother has been living with my husband and me for 1.5 yrs. He his 10 years older than me. I have no kids, it's just my husband and me.
When we first let him live with us, it was because he hit rock bottom (3 months to help him get on his feet has turned into 1.5 yrs). He just got a divorce and couldn't pay his rent. We cleaned out an extra room for him sleep in. He has also been taking Methadone for 12 years and this is where the majority of his money goes. He paints houses for a living so some weeks he gets paid good and other weeks, not so good. He is not open to help when it comes to getting off his Methadone. We have let him borrow money before just to get his Methadone when his paychecks weren't good. He has always paid us back. I've told him he needs to give me money weekly. He does this when he can (when he does get to work).
Also, he's very depressed and has a somewhat dark mind. He draws pictures of zombies, skulls, and listens to death metal. A few minutes ago, I asked him not to fall asleep on my couch. He got very angry and stated, "Am I not good enough to sleep on your couch?" We argued a little and he threw his laptop in the floor. and slammed his door.
I don't understand this. My husband I have been trying to hep him. I'm at the point to where I just want to tell him to get out. My mother told me though that she fears he would probably die if I kicked him out. He would probably get back on crack, crystal meth, or whatever and become homeless. I don't know what to do
