So my basic question is, how do I get my brother to stop taking advantage of my parents?

So context and background is that he is 35 years old and essentially what his

current kind of like plan or like lifestyle is he just like saves up a bunch of money, um,

while he's living at home with them for free. And then he'll like go on a trip internationally.

And then once he runs out of money, he comes back and he doesn't have anywhere to go.

So he just moves back in with my parents again. But meanwhile, he takes advantage of them and like

uses their materials for his business. He uses their stuff. And he's also disrespectful all at the same time.

I've talked to my parents about this. I mostly talk to my parents about this, so I mostly

get their side of the story. But basically, I've tried to stop this then.

That's what I've been trying to get them to do. I'm asking you. I'm asking you. What's wrong with your parents? They will not, they love their son too much. No, that's not love. That's not love. Yeah, that's true. This is giving a drunk a drink. That's enabling. It's not love. 100%. I'm, and so that's what I'm wanting help with is I've talked to them about it,

and I've been very straightforward and blunt with them, and I've told them, you know,

like, if you are not willing to set those boundaries, then it could cost you the relationship.

And so I guess they're not listening to me.

I'm wondering if I can talk to my brother specifically and you can coach me on how to help him. No. Okay. Your brother's a parasite. They don't listen. 100%. Yeah. So it's well, he doesn't have any problems. I know. Your parents are the one that has a problem.

Your brother has no problems.

Life is good for your brother.

I know.

Why would he?

But your parents' job is to help him have some problems.

Yes, I agree.
