Why Does My Mom Keep Forgiving My Brother?

my 23 year old brother has been living with me and my mom since he graduate highschool. he DOES NOT PAY RENT, hes literally been living here rent free for years, he does not pay for groceries or any other bills, my mom let him live here because hes in college, trying to become an attorney ( still in the community college phase) but he has a job, and the only reason why he has a decent paying job is because the owner of the company is his best friend, ( he still talks **** about his boss/bestfriend every day, hes so ungrateful) not only that, but he REFUSES to acknowledge or respect the fact that my mom pays for EVERYTHING.

Now, on to the real story. 2 weeks ago, my brother came home and got mad because my mom cleaned his room ( we were having the carpet cleaned so we had clean his messy room ) apparently, she supposedly threw away his brown bag ( im almost positive that their was drugs or weed in that bag, because he REFUSES to tell us what was in it, plus he got super mad, and he HAS been smoking weed and drinking lately)(plus their was no brown bag in his room so idk what the hell he was trippin about) so he throws a complete ***** fit, runs into my moms room, TEARS THAT **** UP ( she just bought a bedroom set for herself) then he starts calling her all kinds of names (*****,whore,slut,useless ) he starts talking about her disability and how shes not worth anything, called her fat and made fun of her skin color, then he SPIT IN HER FACE TWICE. he ****** spit in her face! and attacked her with the glass board that goes on top of our coffee table. He threw her on the ground numerous times. Then started watching HER tv. i tried to fight him, but im skinny and young and hes much stronger, hes beat me up a couple of times. so the next day, she tells him to move out. So he makes a big scene, packs his stuff, and then goes to live with his boss. Its been two weeks and now my mom is saying "you should invite your brother to your graduation/birthday" and "even though he moved out, I have to forgive him hes me son" im like…HELLLLLL NO! now shes ridiculing me for not inviting him. Its almost like she forgave him for what he did to her all these years, and what he just did to her two weeks ago! idk what to do. What is their to do?

Suggestion:

I suspect they aren't telling you everything because you're too young. Your brother is a pothead or worse druggie which has basically left him stuck in childhood. Your Mom decided to try to put a stop to it in order to help him out of the downward spiral he is in by tossing all his drugs and paraphernalia. The childish over-the-top temper tantrum he had as a result just proves the point to your Mom that he STILL hasn't become a man yet and requires additional parental guidance to become one.

Talk him into joining the military, if he can get in they'll make a man out of him within a year.

Because Despite all the things he does and doesnt do or annoys her, at the end of the day its her son and a mother will find it extremely hard to push there child away. Its normal for your mother to forgive, infact its the right thing for a mother to do but what she may be not doing is motivating him enough or encouraging him to do things which means he may be lacking self confidence or something.

Your mom keeps forgiving your brother because she's a mom.. There's this compassion in mothers that they'll forgive every f****** thing their kids do. That's just their nature. But, seriously, I cannot believe your brother. He's an asshole. Guys like that shouldn't be forgiven.

TIP: Try working out and buffing up then if you're already big and strong enough, go to your brother and kick him right in the nuts and tell him to go find another home and go f*** himself.
