[quote=Anonymous]If this is in DC--President  There are public support systems in place in this country mentally ill and for addicts. These systems are not remotely perfect, but they really are the last surviving safety net for a person in your brother's position. All he has to do is to apply for them.

Here are common sense solutions:

Move your parents to an assisted living situation (only people over 55 can live there).
This will give your parents an "out" on this. They can maybe stil come to your home to do the childcare.

Medicaid will cover a reasonable living situation for a person like your brother.

He may not like who he has to live with in shared housing perhaps with other medicaid recipients...These are actually not dirty dangerous people exclusively AT ALL. Increasingly, what used to be lower middle class people find themselves on Medicaid. Because large profit taking corporations and their lobbyists have destroyed pensions and other safety nets.  He will have to work--but guess what--he will get free mental health care. He will not like this. But you have to strategize and protect yourself.  [/quote]
