Unhappy

You certainly have it very hard. It seems like the rest of your family is living off you like a parasite. They probably did the same to your other brothers and that's why they left.

Maybe part of the reason is that you allow them to do so. If you left them to solve their own problems, you might be surprised how well they do. Once they don't have you to leech off, they'll have no choice but to get it together.

On the other hand maybe not. Maybe they'll be destroyed as you think. I really can't tell you what to do one way or the other, but it's clear that something needs to change. If I was you I'd take the job, see how it goes, and then maybe if things get really bad you can come back and help them or send money as someone else suggested.

Good luck.
