I am 34 years old, laid-off , in school, and yes living with my Mother with her permission. Stipulation: stay in school. I've been on unemployment since Jan. '09, have one more semester (or 2), paying my own way with over $1500 saved( in my mother's possesion). Here is my problem: my older Brother lives with us as well, has not held a job in over 3 years (since the last job I got for him and he quit, and the one before that too), quit school himself and is pickled on vodka. At least twice a week he is blaring the stereo until all hours of the morning, keeping me from a decent night sleep. Although only community college, I feel as if I am at the summit, and it is not exactly easy. I need sleep. My brother is hiding from a warrant, and I've stated that unless he can keep it down and sleep nights and go out and look for a job during the day ( or go to church or something) I'm going to call the police. I have some grants and don't want to lose this opportunity. Now my mother tells me if I turn him in, she will have me removed from the house. I'm at the point where I am ready to leave, I'll go stay in the Salvation Army, it's finals week next week for crying out loud and I am teetering on the edge of insanity. However she won't give me the money I've saved and I can't continue like this. Can she kick me out? I think she looks the other way from my Brother because they ran away from my Father in the middle of the night with $10,000 and still feels a bit of guilt. What can I do?
