Let's take a step backwards for a minute to gain some history and perspective.

Aichaku, it's clear that you love him very much, though your family life is in a bit of an upheaval. I'm wondering, though, if this is a new pattern.

A couple of things to establish some background:

Mild brain injuries can manifest themselves in personality changes, and if his attitudes are something new then maybe they could be traced back to a specific event or series of events. Has he been involved in an accident of some sort? For instance, was he rear-ended in a car or something like that? Possibly witness something that may have altered his life experience?

If this is not a new situation, he's going to be confused and angry that your involvement has changed. He's been so used to having someone in the house who just goes along to get along that your higher level of involvement will come as a surprise and shock. That's why he doesn't see any need for him to go to counselling, because he hasn't changed, it's just that your involvement has, therefore he sees the problem as residing outside himself.
