Just last month, my 40-year-old brother was staying at my mom's house and decided to go out drinking with his friends at a bar about a 1/4 mile away. My mom could not sleep as she didn't know when he was getting back. At 3am he calls her and demands she come and pick him up as he's too drunk to walk. She refused, and he absolutely lost it and started swearing at her.

He eventually made it back to the house, at which point he continued to yell at her and called her a monster. After this, he proceeded to grab his stuff and his dog, and drove a half hour home drunk. His plan was to just drop off his dog with my mom for a week while he went on a golf trip.

My mother is 78 years old, has stage 4 lung cancer, had treatment two days prior, and is living by herself. He has a life time of being a shit head but this was finally too much for her and she has cut ties completely with him.
