Even if you leave the house, your parents will still be under his torment, and probably will hasten their way to the grave. Both environment and parental upbringing play important roles in the life of a child, so let's assume that something went wrong along that line. No need to digress.

Meditation is not timidity, the essence is to accumulate tranquillity within so that you can be able to have enough energy to counter external chaos. So, don't think confronting your brother is wrong, since he's unable to act like an elder brother and a mature adult you must treat him as a child while seeing him as an adult.

Adults only change by their volition. Therapy, counseling, and advice only work if they choose to allow it. The best thing is to match their level and counter them there. There is no need to talk too much.

To treat toxic people, position yourself at a level of power where you can trample on their toxicity, don't take it likely with them, and feed them with their spoons. Counter toxicity with toxicity. If their degree of toxicity is 1 make your own 2 or 2+ or 2 pro or 2 max...doing this will make them steer clear. Narcissistic and toxic people don't respond to words of hope and encouragement, what they care about is themselves, and it is that image of themselves you must destroy. The more you try to make them see reasons with you, the more you elevate their ego, and the more they think they are worth shit. They normally misconstrue this as you being afraid of them. So, the best thing is to counter them, especially in tough scenarios like this where you can't simply avoid them.

Your brother is a pet snake turned wild, you can't destroy him because he's a pet and can't allow him to roam freely because he's now wild. The best thing to do is to cage him. Match his toxicity, block his freedom... "Just dey give am wotowoto, fire for fire".

Thanks.

if you have nothing tangible to say, just shut up

Op; look for a way to leave that house, it'll help you in your self improvement journey. The problem is your mom who enables him but before you go, tell your parents what you've been observing about your brother and also tell them your hand no dey when he eventually gets into serious trouble

Hello Everyone!

I have a family issue but I don't have someone to speak to about it, so I'm very grateful for your inputs on this matter.

SOME BACKSTORY (You can skip this if you want):
I'm the youngest of my two siblings (26M). I have a sister and a brother. My sister's kinda okay. My brother (35) is a selfish, toxic and entitled person. He dropped out from the university, doesn't have a job and he steals from my parents like my dad's watches or property or my mum's jewellery and then sells them to buy weed or something.

One time he sold my mum's car and after some police and legal issue that basically went nowhere, she basically had to steal it back (The guy who bought it, passed away a little while after, so I guess that case is closed..), he once took my phone while I was sleeping because I refused to give him a different phone I had, that belongs to me after selling his own phone or something. It's like he acts solely on impulse. My dad (who's in his 70s now) is almost always on security alert when my brother is around. As for my mom, she just straight up enables him and bails him out of trouble every time, saying things like "He's your brother" or "God will change him" when I talk to her about it. My brother and I got into a fight, like a year before I left for university, because he wanted to look around my room to see if I had his usb cable despite me telling him I don't have it nor have I seen it. That was the last time I willingly spoke to him.

My family moved into a new house and I finally left for school (my brother stayed in the old house and my sister moved in with her husband after marriage, so it was just him over there). During my 3rd year, I called my dad, asking him for some money because I was broke, and during the phone call, my dad tells me that he's at the hospital cuz my brother and some girl just had a kid. okay.. I came back for holidays and found out that his baby mama (who's also toxic and insults people alot) and kid, my nephew, are staying with us, with my parents providing for them while my brother stays in the older house, renting it out to people (who messed up the house and compound to the point it just became a disgusting place to live in) obviously without permission from my parents (who don't even own that house, it belongs to my uncle). By the time I graduated and came back home, he was now living with us in the new house because free food and no bills, I guess.

I haven't gotten a job yet so I'm stuck here.

Recently, he's been staying away from me because I don't talk to him or even look at him.

BACK TO THE TOPIC:
Around a year ago, I had a serious wakeup call and decided that, if I was going to go forward in life I would have to better myself so I began a journey of meditation and self-improvement, and I think I've made some good progress. Now the issue is my brother---earlier today, I saw him scouting our house (after my parents went out) and I could instantly tell he was up to no good. I was cooking when I began to hear some noise from upstairs like he was hacking at something. He came downstairs and readied his car while my cousin who stays with us (19) carried the AC unit my brother was planning to sell.
Usually I'll just mind my business and avoid him because he's an adult-child (narcissist) and I think he'll just put his vindictive sights on me if I interfere, but this time I don't know what came over me..

I called my cousin and demanded where he was taking that AC to. I then asked my brother (first time in years I've spoken to him) why he was taking it, he just gave one nonsense flimsy excuse then I told my cousin to return it. When he tried to explain whatever, I didn't acknowledge his presence, I just ignored him and ate my food. He just stood there staring at me for like 3 minutes before he left while murmuring something.

The main reason I've been avoiding him for long is because he's toxic and I decided that family or not, toxicity is still toxicity. He's very exploitative and once he familiarises with someone it's like an opening to trample the person's boundaries. I think I confronted him today because the more you ignore bad/evil the stronger it becomes and eventually it will come for you except now it'll be stronger from all the experience.

The issue is, I don't want to relapse into my old life of toxicity by further engaging him if he decides to steal from me on get physical because he's the kind of person that only listens to actions, not words.
Please, what do you think I do?

If you cannot get the support of your parents to show him some tough love then your other option is to get out of that house. No point in dwelling with toxicity if you can arrange yourself out of there.

Your bro is more on harder drugs than weed. Weed smokers do not really steal for their drug habit, they are too high to even steal grin grin. On serious note, establishing boundaries is very important for your sanity, your bro is on drugs and will steal to fund his drug addiction. Continue to hide your valuable items when bro is around. Get your parents to write a will regarding family properties to avoid story that touch in the future. Pray for your bro because he is still your bro no matter what and keep working on get ur own place. i wish you the best

Cut the guy some slack. Your single sentence has two notable errors. A lot, not "alot" and sentences, not "sentence."

So, the correct version of your sentence should be: "A university graduate typed this episode with a lot of uncoordinated sentences."
