Some of you may know and love (if by 'love' I mean "want to slaughter" or "wish AIDS upon") my darling foster brother, Benjamin. If you don't, well, count yourself lucky. He's turning eighteen soon, and, if fate decides that for once it does not hate me, he will be forced out by the system and by the fact that Dad hates him as much as we do

Lol. Mary, no offense intended, I love you and all, but that comment was incredibly stupid. Maybe you don't want anything like to happen to him, but you don't live with him, he's never stolen anything of yours, he's never acted like asshole to your father, or you, or any other family member, and he has never ignored a blatant, simple request that you have asked.
You've never had to deal with his urine on the toilet seat, or his nasty three month old cups and bowls from his room, caked with god knows what, and you've had to deal with his crying and complaining about his laundry day.
He has straight up told my father that he is not family, he is merely an "employee of the state" regardless of the fact that my dad took him in when he had nowhere else to do, he bought clothes, he feeds him, he provides him with all the items he could possibly need, and then some. And then, he has the nerve to tell his family that my father is "setting him up for failure", when in fact, he is setting him up for LIFE. Whether or not he wants to act it, he is 18 years old. He has to start taking care of himself, and learn the sense of ownership, and family, and how to act around other people, and learn to show he appreciates what others do for him, rather than complain and bitch that he didn't get EVERYTHING the way he wants it.
As Kat put it- he is a "defect": there is no other way to put it. It may sound mean to outsiders, but that is the only word out there that could singlehandedly describe the way he acts, the way he talks, and they way he thinks.

Hence why one of the first things I said what I don't live there I don't know what happens all I know is him from class, and then said that I could be asking really stupid questions.

I just don't like the idea of ANYONE ending up in a shitty place or situation.

I know you said that. SO I filled you in on a few of the things he does.

And I understand that- you're a nice person, and nice people typically hate when bad things happen to others. But in this case, he had a perfectly good chance, with four people that could have cared for him- if he had decided to make himself a part of this family. He chose to NOT care, and mouth off to everyone in the house. It does suck that he could end up in a bad position- but he had a chance. And he blew it- over and over again.

And Kat DID ask for advice. My bad.

I know this- don't go all mean on me. I was not tying to be an ass to you. (See previous comment for explanation)
