AIBU to stop contact with my parents so they will stop giving my brother money for drugs?

[Hotwingsandlemon]

I really don't know what to do. I fear my brother will be homeless when my parents die. He told me that he refuses to take any job that will pay him less than $150k/year because he has a master's degree. He constantly tells me the world is going to end so there's no point in working and that robots will take over.

I really don't know what to do. I think weed is exacerbating some sort of mental illness he must have. He refuses to get help and tells everyone else that they are crazy. My parents pay all his bills and give him cash. I told them to cut back and just pay his rent/food but don't give him the cash for weed so he might sober up. My parents refuse to do this because they are scared of my brother. I told them to just move away from him and don't give him money for petrol. I don't know what to do. I feel a lot of guilt/pressure that he might become homeless when my parents die because I don't have the ability to pay his bills. It makes me so frustrated with my parents and I feel like they're taking the easy way out.

I want to cut contact with my parents because I live in a different country and I feel like they are leaving me with the burden of paying for my brother when they die rather than trying to stop enabling him at the moment. Am I being unreasonable to cut contact with my parents?

Tldr: Am I being unreasonable for cutting contact with my parents until they stop enabling my drug addicted brother?

Reduce contact but don't cut contact. It's unlikely to make a difference cutting ties to your parents. The only relationship that'll be damaged by it is your relationship with them.
As for being burdened with your brother when your parents die, you will have a choice in this. Refuse.

You don't have to be burdened with your brother. Their choices are not your choices.

You don’t need to cut contact with them. You do need to be clear that by enabling him, they are making the situation worse. Tell them one more time that they need to give him 60 days notice to find a job, cut him off and start putting that money aside for rehab/mental health facility. When he inevitably hits rock bottom, which he will if they aren’t propping him up, they can help pay for medical treatment. Also beg them to put any inheritance there might be into some kind of trust so he can’t blow it all immediately in a binge.

After you tel them this, wash your hands of it. Do not help him after they die unless he comes to you asking for help with treatment.

Sympathy OP Im in a very similar position.

I dont think going nc will make any difference to your parent's behaviour, or your brother's.

That said, if going nc will make you feel better then go for it. I am low contact with my father these days - in fact he's currently refusing to see me because I'm nc with my brother - which is sad, but it cant be helped. When my father dies I will not be looking after my brother which means he will probably be street homeless but that cant be helped either (believe me, I have tried).

Do you really think the OPs brother is able to get a job purple. My brother struggles to get to a doctor's appointment- he could no more work than fly to the moon.

Go NC with your brother when they're gone. No need to let him be the cause of going NC with your parents now.
