Is there anything else I can do?
My brother has has schizophrenia for over 10 years and been living with my parents, who've both passed, and now with me. I've managed to get him on food stamps, social security disability, medicare, and he's got a social worker and weekly therapy sessions for the last 2 years with a care team he likes.
He refuses medication though. When he's unmedicated he is emotionally unstable. Usually he is very loudly depressed, sometimes kinda angry, generally always disrespectful and confrontational with me. He has been living in a delusion that he is (details vary by the month) somehow important for saving the world/society/whatever however "they" are stopping him from doing that and so he has to wait for someone to save him.
I'm at the end of my rope with being subjected to such negative and manipulative energy. I just can't live with him anymore. I've tried to find group homes and assisted living programs but he doesn't want to work with me on anything. So 2 months ago I chose to evict him for my own sanity. He is doubling down on saying that I am "choosing to make him homeless" and still won't work with me to find any other solutions.
He's being removed in 4 days and I want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to help him, even if he is being resistant and stubborn. Does anyone have any advice for me?
Note; I am getting a storage unit and will be packing his stuff up into it for him instead of throwing his things away. It took 30 minutes of him fighting me to reluctantly agree to go look for one this weekend...
