Some backstory here I never really got along with my step brother since we just had very different personalities and hobbies. A few years ago he had a stroke and lost function in both his legs and right arm after his stroke we lost his job since it was a manual labour job and never tried go back into the job market for the last 7 years and moved back into our parents home. The main conflict started when my step mom died recently and that left him without any money and any place to live. He couch surfed with a couple of friends for 2 months before he came and asked me if he could stay at my home since I recently moved into a decently large apartment with more than enough space. I told him that I wasn't comfortable letting him stay in my home because if I did he would just live with me indefinitely like he did with our parents and that I wasn't ready to give up all my free time after work to care for him or pay 20% of my pay check to hire full time care for him.

He immediately started accusing me of resenting him ever since we were younger and claimed that I never really saw him as a brother(which is true but who cares) and that I was being petty since it wouldn't be a major part of my pay check. I stood my ground since Im pretty stubborn and made my choice already.
