I have retired parents in their late 70s. My brother, who's 45, moved in with them at the beginning of the pandemic and hasn't left since.

My parents are supporting him, and they're getting older. They're

starting to have health issues and I do not want to be responsible for him after they're gone,

but I'm having a hard time reconciling the, I guess, moral obligation versus practical obligation.

Why would you be responsible for the brother?

What type of, is there something wrong that he's requiring support?

No, other than he just has never worked.

And it's one, yeah, yeah.

And it's one of those things where I'm afraid if no one takes care of him or supports

him, he'll end up homeless and, you know, bad things happen when you're homeless.

He's not.

It would be an easier conversation if he was.

So I guess my question is, why are you drawing the conclusion that he's totally helpless

and will end up on the streets?

If he's 40, able-bodied, healthy, that would then just be his personal choice

then, wouldn't it? You're absolutely right. And it is absolutely his choice. It's the, you know,

tug of he's my only, he's really my only family once my parents are gone. and do you really think that rather than let's let's

just play this out for a second let's i mean unfortunately let's pretend your your parents they're

beamed up they move on let's pretend you've put your foot down and said you know what you know you

can't move in with me bob Bobby. And do you really think

Bobby will end up? Do you truly in your heart of hearts think that he will say, okay,
