Is it ever okay to abandon family? I'm at the end of my

You're responsible for no one's happiness but your own. As much as you'd like to help him out he can only help himself. You already know you have to kick him out, but you don't want to, understandably. Tough love is tough for a reason, but you have to give him the choice to keep going or give up. It isn't yours to make.
lol this post reads like a montage of shitty fb posts.

I feel ya. My brother is a lazy fucking bastard who is living off our dad and he pisses me off with his complete inability to act as an adult and take responsibility. He's wasting his life away on being a bum. Anyway, I've sort of accepted that it's his life and if he wants to waste it then that's too bad. I've tried talking to him. I don't want to make this about me but I just thought that you should know you're not alone with being stuck with a shitty sibling. Can't imagine how much worse you're having it. I bet you've tried to talk to him about it and to be honest, what else can you do?

Life gets shitty sometimes, you may slip apart. Some things aren't within your control. I can't give you much advice though. Stay strong, buddy.

he made his choices. its not your fault for not carrying him.

You don't choose your family so the guarantee that they're worthy people of compassion is slim.

>Is it ever okay to abandon family?
Yes.
Two major times. The first if if he or she does something seriously wrong to the family. You molest a little cousin, you're out of the family.
The second time is for their own good. Some people will simply not learn until they have to. Making your brother survive on his own may be the only way he learns to survive. Otherwise you are simply enabling his drug use like the person who feeds her 800 lb kid is enabling his obesity.

At this point you're enabling his behaviour and making yourself miserable at the same time. You are helping no one by letting things continue as they are.

Your brother needs to learn how to cope with life on his own. You won't always be there to hold his hand and give him a free place to stay. If kicking him out is the only way he'll learn then you have to kick him out.

this is me too but my brother is both autistic and blind in one eye so he's been fucked from the beginning. i feel like all i can do for him is keep him entertained until he keels over

Not OP,
Is kicking out a family member who has mental illness but refuses to do anything for themselves, acts like a cunt to you and your whole family but is an attention whore to people she thinks are cool, and drains you of your money and won't do anything around the house or get a job and expects everyone in the house to do everything for her worth kicking out when they turn 18? Just curious because it's coming up
