Just a Vent

I've got so much going on right now. I'm starting a new job and I'm going to have to work more than my old one; I'm an adult now and i have more expenses. I've also come to the realization that I can't take care of my brother. He's been staying with me and I've been doing my best to provide for him and get him more mentally healthy. But the other night I realized being here with me is doing him more harm than good. He's not a bad kid. Not at all, but I realized he was using me being soft as an excuse to not do his schoolwork, and to create bad habits. I'm a grouch but i have a soft spot for my brother. But he's only 13. He isn't allowed to drop out or do the things he's doing, their all bad for his health. But he won't listen to me because i'm just his sibling. I realized that there's nothing I can do to help with these things. Hence, why he will be going back with his mother. I know he hates it there. I know he's going to get mad but honestly? I really don't have a choice. If these behaviors develop to become worse behaviors I'd be the one responsible. I'm not healthy mentally or financially stable enough to be able to take care of him. I feel bad but I know that this is best in the long run. I'm not telling him until it's time to go though. Or time to pack. That's mainly to prevent fighting or runaway attempts. There's nothing else I can do. Even if i wanted to fight for him to stay I have no say and it'd bite me in the back later. I'm just venting here because It's mainly anonymous and that's perfect.
