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."

Doctor can also be mentally ill. You are a nobody and a nuisance like the OP’s brother. I am sure the OP’s brother too will come online and claim he’s an astronaut. Nobody in their right senses chat rubbish like you. I am damn sure you know a lot about Schizophrenia. You better go and seek help because you need it. You are already cursed and so are your children and all your family members. See this delusional nuisance o. Ashiere

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?

The blame lies solely on your parents. They overpampared their first son. They are reaping the results.

Doctor indeed. Delusional cursed being from a family of cursed people. Keep cursing yourself deeper and deeper and exposing the illnesses you are battling. I see you are already battling with Ogun Idile. So I will let it destroy you, your children and all your family members grin. I don’t want to derail OP’s thread again, so I will leave you to keep writing senselessly with no head or tail.

CaveAdullam:
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.
@ bolded, I can fight fire with fire but toxicity takes a toll on me and really affects my self improvement.

Please, what do you think I do?

I'm not too sure about what your question is but the little I know about training I should be able to chip in a bit.

First of all it takes a man to train a man, a mother's job is to nurture her son while a father's job is admonition. InDiscipline boys end up in prison, on the street or dead. Your father is solely responsible for the outcome of your brother, he didn't train him. Yes, teenager take a detour and start misbehaving, it's the responsibility of a father to guide them back to the light with whatever means possible.

Your mother should understand by now that God doesn't change children, God gave the parents the responsibility to train the children so that as they get old that training becomes their moral compass.

At this point your parents need to put their foot down and give your brother an ultimatum to decide on a skill to learn, to get alternative accommodation, and should anything go missing in the house he will be thrown out. The only language people like your brother understand is firm force.

Your brother is probably on crack or meth. The best thing you can do is advise your parents to put him in rehab otherwise you could get a call one day that he has killed ur parents and sold the house. He needs to leave that house ASAP.

Everyday when a girl does one tenth of what the op just outlined , you have silly people who say they never wish to have a female child.

Where are they now? Double standards

The other day it was a woman who talked about her two sons being very wayward and not knowing what to do with them.

The worst a female child can become is a prostitute. You see that other gender, they can even armed robbers, kidnappers, agberos, drug pushers, ritualists etc.

God help you people.

from my understanding you are not from a poor family, tell your parents to start now to write their will and share the properties so that you can protect your own and bigger problems in future... he might end up selling the Houses and other properties...


as for your brother..... he can never change

try and setup yourself to be independent make sure you tell your parents to do the sharing now, let your parents know that one day they will die and they won't be alive to settle problem.... I have seen cases that are worse than this

I almost thought u were describing my brother. Sad u have one of "this" in ur family. They never change and are usually a bone in their parents throat. Like your mom, my mom always make the silly excuses of "he's your brother " bla bla bla, and no your mom is not promoting his behavior, mothers just have a different bond with their kids irrespective of their age and I'm sure ur mothers greatest heart desire and prayers is for him to change.

For our parents sanity, my siblings and I contributed and rented an apartment for a year for my wayward brother and his baby mama just so my parents could get a break from him being in their face in their house and causing havoc everytime.

U see the silent attitude u are giving him, it's the best for ur own sanity. However, just as u did, never keep quiet when u see an obvious theft.

Sad news is that they never change. My brother is now 41 and no single bit of responsible behavior in him.

Courage my dear. Just focus on u.

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?
