Ommg why my coments always go to the wrong articke theres somthing realy wrong with this app in my ph anyone having the sane problem??

I have this problem

My younger brother is an alcoholic and former drug abuser. He has been in an out of rehab at least twice. We are from a wealthy family and he has never been disciplined or had real responsibility. Our parents had an ugly divorce when he was 12 and he choose to live with my father. I was in college. My father died when my brother was barely 18. My brother dropped out of high school at 16 to learn the family business supposedly. When my father passed, my brother inherited a large sum of money from life insurance. The estate was tied up in a trust until he turned 25. My husband and I had been taking care of my mother all this time, while he ran wild. He I'd now 33 years old and has been living in the home my mother rents at a discount from us for over a year. The arrangement was that he was getting out of rehab, his wife was divorcing him, he needed to stay away from his old friends, old town,find a job, go to AA, get involved in church where he could make friends that don't want to hang out in bars, etc, and get his own place. Instead...my mom's rent for a 1200 sq ft house on four acres with three bedrooms all with walk in closets, two full baths, eat in kitchen, separate dining room, and laundry room. She has a craft room built off the house. A huge deck with a wheelchair/handicapped ramp on the front built on. My husband cut and weed eats the yard for her. He takes her trash off for her. She doesn't have a water bill. Her rent has been $ 445.00 a month for eight years even thought the house payment is more than that. We discount it because she is my mother. She has been collecting $ 425.00 a month from my brother. He has done several things that make him untrustworthy. He used my checking account without my permission to pay one of his bills. He has been caught hiding liquor several times. He has two kids fro a previous marriage he hardly ever sees because he is too busy seeing a 19 year old girl that just had a baby that there is a slim chance could be his too. I said all that to say that my mother can not understand why we think it is in his and her best interest for him to either 1. Decide to get the help he came here for if he is going to stay. Or 2. Move out. She thinks we are being so unfair. She forgets who took care of her when he wasn't giving her rent money. Where was he when he had his millions and she needed help??!! Oh and now he's a month behind on his rent...we told her not to depend on his money.

Yes my mum can like hypnose me to make me think just like her and make decissions I don't really want to make

"Perhaps this has something to do with the lack of a word to describe adult children (other than son or daughter))" That is the stupidest thing I've ever read. Maybe there's a lack of a word because son or daughter WORKS. There's no term for an adult brother or sister either.
