Struggling with my difficult Brother - I feel so low

M&M001

Hi all, 

I feel so lost and low, my brother has some undiagnosed mental health issues (psychosis) last year he smashed our kitchen broke. Tiles did extensive damage in the house. For a period of time he rented outside. He caused issues with them police were called last year.

My parents let him back in, now every few weeks he smashes things in the house. Spills things in the kitchen, smashes all the dishes cups. Swears at my parents, who are 60 plus, I don’t know what to do as I’m living with trauma. 

He blames, his job losses to my parents, he argues with everyone.

I can’t cope, I am having work problems where I am being bullied, I don’t know where to go, I asked Council, they said do a domestic abuse referral. I’ve only been recently diagnosed with autism.
