He started going out with a girl I worked with who caused me so much trouble at work I had to quit and as she moved herself into the place I was living with my brother in, I left and moved back with my parents. Since then my Dad passed away and I have become my Mum's full time carer. My brother's gf has had his child and moved back with her parents and my brother is here with my mum and me. His gf is still causing trouble for me within our family, and my brother just backs her up because I should just take it from her in his opinion, not likely to happen.Anyway because of this I don't want my brother living here anymore, but I know if I leave my brother will put my Mum in a nursing home and that would kill her, and I can't do that to her, but I don't know how to convince her to ask him to save up the money to leave. It is affecting my health and I don't know how much longer I can take this for. I just need advice on how to convince my Mum that it is in our best interest for him to leave and get a place of his own, he is 51 years old and I am 34. i have given up so much to be here for my Mum, I don't think it's too much to ask that she put my health first when I am here caring for her to keep her from being put in a home. I realise that he is her son and it's difficult, but I am supporting her financially as well as taking care of her physically. Am I being unreasonable?
