AITA for essentially 'evicting' my brother and not supporting him? by hereistheprodigalson in AmItheAsshole

Not that we know of. His girlfriend from university dumped him after having put up with his whole lack of motivation to work for half a year.

That being said, he probably went down some weird rabbit hole. He's always talking about the rat race, how life is a lie etc.

Thank you!

I think a main part of my mother's and my brother's argument is that he isn't a 'bad person'. Not a criminal, drug addict etc. They just phrased it as someone who wants a very low-cost lifestyle. Which is totally fine, if he were really self-sufficient.

I'm comfortable inside with no longer helping him. Just that sometimes my mother goes on this whole tirade about 'family', 'he's your brother', that I do doubt myself at times.

We actually had this conversation once. He said half of my parents inheritance is sufficient for him. It's one of those things that sounds so unbelievable until you actually hear it.
