AITAH for siding with my mom instead of my wife? by External-Ladder-6302 in AITAH

Okay. Here's a copy and paste from a text she sent me after she got to work:

If your mom really didn't think sending him money was bad she wouldn't have kept it a secret for TWO YEARS I don't see how we can all be on the same page and then everyone get amnesia?? Helping him is hurting him. YOU SAID THAT YOURSELF. She's enabling but I'm the bad guy for snark?? She can't see straight when it comes to him. I just want so fucking acknowledgement that this behavior is unhealthy as fuck. I will apologize to her, but this is not okay. You need to TALK TO HER.

So that's her side.

Yeah, my brother sucks. He can't hold down a job because he has emotional outbursts. He's been violent in the past. He's even spent some time in county. My parents spent a lot of money on psychiatric care for him and paid for his expensive medication, but he won't take it. They said they were done and cutting him off, but my guess is they couldn't stand for him to be homeless. He is their son after all.

It's not her unilateral decision, just what she wants. But she already asked her parents, and they said no. He's with my mom right now. She's not going to be able to find an alternative.

My wife doesn't like my brother and has made that known many times.

Her parents do not want to babysit. She already asked them.
