In other words, It sounds like you need to help your dad first, in order to help your brother. Either that or get your own shit together and move out and away from this aggravation.

trust me. i have done this as well. since i was 12.
maybe its because im the middle child, but i have always felt the need to be the person who takes care of everything. i have told him he needs to kick him out. when he was younger, i suggested he send him away. i think my dad has this total guilt complex, and he lets my brother walk all over him to compensate for the time he didnt spend with him. and in turn my brother abuses that.
