My mom towards my brother. He’s 37 and has no job, smokes weed and plays video games all day. My mom is 70. No idea what he plans to do when she inevitably passes, but I’ve outright told him he’s not moving in with me and I’m not supporting him.
My mom though, it’s truly a mess of her own making. She harbors a lot of guilt towards picking our father, even though the worst thing he did to us was be uninterested/eventually leave… Still, she has it in her head that making my brother do anything he doesn’t want to is abandoning him in a way, so she lets him do whatever, pays for it, and tell him all the time nothing is his fault and that he doesn’t have to change.

I love my mom, but damn.
