God I don't even know where to start.

I found out today for definite that my brother is smoking crack, I've had an idea that he was on something but I didn't know what but I found all the paraphernalia today.
Obviously I need to help him but where do I start? He has no place of his own and is very down that's why he has started smoking, I'm a lone parent with two dcs and my mum is living with me as she is homeless, so I can't really offer him a place to stay to at least try and sort himself out.

I feel the way he can get help is to move in with my mum but both of them with no job and no deposit it's going to be hard, my mum got evicted for rent arrears so will not get any help from the council.

I really need some help and advice please.

I didn't mean you upset me I just meant that what you saidkind of struck a cord and made me a bit emotional.
Thank you though all of you for your advice it's all been going round in my head all day and I just needed to say it out loud.

I'll be ok it's just another hurdle I need to jump.

Now I know I will be the only one able to help him when needed.

This isn't true though. Being the Rescuer makes you believe it is, but it isn't.
