I don't know if this is the right place
This is about my brother not a significant other. I let him into my home because he was homeless and family asked me to. I have an adult disabled daughter. I work but my brother does not. He says he is disabled but he walks all over town even though it's in the high 90s. He doesn't help around the house. The only thing he will do is cook lunch for my daughter, but that is only so he can eat. He comes and goes as he pleases often leaving without a word for a week and then just as suddenly shows back at the house when I am at work. He doesn't bathe, brush his teeth or wear deodorant. He has never kept a job for over a year. He has lived my mooching off of everyone. I am his last resort. I've threatened to put him out but he threatens me and I know he will follow through. I can't keep feeding him. He is a glutton. I cooked lunch for my daughter that should have lasted her for the rest of the week. I came home a found he has eaten all of her food. I just don't know what do do. I don't have anyone to turn to. I am scared all the time. I have been diagnosed with PTSD and depression. I am so stressed because of him I can barely function. Does anyone have any advice?

I am sorry you are facing this ... too many are in your shoes. We cannot help those who will not help themselves ... i know people think we should always help family but at a certain point we can not ruin our world on the false hope you are helping / he will change and he appreciates what you are doing...
I wish i knew an answer too many are out on their own with no where to go because like this situation they just wear out their welcome with every one they know. if he has threatened you if you want him to leave get a protection order and change the locks etc....
tell him straight out that you cannot take care of him and your disabled child and yourself.
He has been told to leave and I can't support him but he refuses. He was verbally abusing my daughter while I was at work and my neighbors across the street heard him and came over and chewed him out, but when you have no shame or conscience, it was like water on a duck's butt. I truly hate him. I feel like there is only one way to escape him and that scares me.
