[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am confused. Does he live with you?

You shouldn't be having to support a grown man. Have you been fully supporting him since he was twenty? How did the situation get to this point?

How did your parents die?

This sounds like a nightmare.[/quote]

He probably has borderline personality disorder as a result of your parents death in his formative years. My sibling is the same.

Be aware he might get angry or suicidal when you make this change.

Do you own your house? I would honestly move in this scenario, tell him you need a different place as move out, and either sell or rent out old place. That way you both leave rather than you tossing him out.  If he kills himself realize this is not your fault, he is responsible for himself completely. [/quote]

+1 Sibling with Schizoaffective personality disorder.  OP, you need to talk to a therapist yourself to understand him, and mostly to understand how to live as the primary person in his life. He obviously needs professional help, but it is so, so hard to make an adult get the help they need. Put your own life mask on first.[/quote]
