I've got a question for you, since I don't know the background here... does your brother ever help mom with the house, or with dad? If not, I'm thinking that he doesn't want to support your efforts because he feels guilty not helping out. If he's not, he needs to get off his lazy butt and pitch in to help your mother. She did give birth to him after all.
Sometimes I'm glad I don't have brothers and/or sisters. If they didn't help out I'd be furious and hitting them over the head with my riding crop. If they did help, I know I'd be grateful as the only help now I have to pay for. Which is annoying, but you do what you've got to do, as all of us here know well.
pg, I think you stated your point of view very well. You were clear, calm and reasonable. I don't see where he has any room for argument.

No, Brother does nothing for parents. Ever. As an example (which I described in another thread), once when parents were in early 70s and we were home for Thanksgiving, I came home from visiting a friend to find the basement had flooded and my parents were filling up buckets and lugging them up the stairs to dump outside. While my healthy 30-something brother sat on the couch reading the paper. I think that says it all. |

PQ,
If you don't mind me asking.. How old is your brother? I keep imagining a young healthy guy with a big head.

Ah! So I was right. he is a young, big headed man. I bet he swaggers after he gets off his butt and walks out of a room, too. 
Please, please please let us know what happens after your dad reads the emails.. no matter what.
Remember. You have an army of caregivers here to support you.
RIGHT IS MIGHT! RIGHT IS MIGHT! RIGHT IS MIGHT!
