Forgive and forget. He's your brother, no matter what. i'd give anything to have a brother or a sister.

I already put my two cents in, I have two cents more. Life is too short, you don't want any regrets concerning your brother. I can only speak for myself, I would forgive him and continue with the relationship. I wouldn't feel right knowing I was estranged from my only family when my days dwindled down to a few.

@jellyBEAN  looks like he didn't mind taking advantage of you until you noticed. Since you have never been close, I would just let the relationship go.

It does seem that he is taking advantage of you. However he is your only family, only you can decide whether you want him in your life or not ( take him as he is, he will not change). My brother died almost eight years ago, he was a great brother, I miss him terribly. Think long and hard before making your decision.

Exactly.

And give him a chance to fix the problem.  She said she hadn't ever told him that she feels he takes advantage of her.  She got cranky (understandably so), and he stormed out.  The simplest thing to do is clear the air and communicate.  

There's no way I would kick this guy to the curb at this point.  At the very least, there should be a conversation.  I would do that with anyone, but especially with family.

All I can say is I wish I had siblings. I know there are always disagreements within families, but my feeling is people need to cling to those ties. They are your blood and your essence, no matter what. No one else but your siblings share what you share.

must be why there are so  many family murders and massacres..... all that loving blood and essence LOL!

Horrible thing to say, then laugh.

I agree.  That was pretty insensitive.
