...or can I ask (more likely, "tell") him to leave?
Some background here;
My brother is an adult with paranoid schizophrenia. He also has a host of other things going that have culminated in intellectual disabilities, and the like.
My husband and I moved him into the unit so that he would have a more cost effective place to live, either long term, or until he was able to get low income or subsidized housing (if he didn't like the current arrangement).
My husband and I have been working with our county's HHS (brother moved to our state earlier this year) to get him further services, though it is a long process.
He is currently so delusional (though taking his RXs) and argumentative, that we can't even talk about the smallest things without them turning into insane arguments and hours' long tangents. My otherwise calm husband now bites his tongue, balls his fists, and just physically leaves when my brother gets like this, so that he can keep his own wits about him. I'm looking into getting him an "emergency," appointment with a local therapist, meanwhile (as he could use the psychotherapy, and possibly a meds adjustment).
I know we are his only support right now, and we do what we are able within reason (e.g. we are not going shopping with more days of the week than not). He refuses to recognize it at all (and we are not prompting), and demands that we be at his beck and call 24/7. He calls our house constantly, usually 7am onwards, and if we do not pick up, our cell phones. Furthermore, if we say we are out (or even if we haven't answered, or are not there) he walks or bikes over to our place, knocks on the door, loiters, and/or "recons," to see whether or not we are home.
It's invasive, and we want him further away from us ASAP.
So, do I need to serve him a notice to leave a residence he does not currently own (but pays lot rent on)??
Any thoughts on where he might be able to go for semi-permanent housing without a long wait time? His only income is SSI, and a weekly at a motel will sap it really quickly.
