my little brother is 19 and has multiple sclerosis. he needs help changing clothes, eating using the bathroom, bathing. basically he needs someone to look after him all day.

my mom just got some drug related charges and is probblay going to prison. dont need to talk about them except that Im going to try and care of my brother.

I (25m) left the small town that we grew up in but am going to come back to look after him. the problem is I dont know anything about social security or benefits or if I need to be his legal carer. the adult daycare that looks after him sometimes said they can help for another week or two but the account needs to be paid. I dont have a full time job in the town yet. but I wont be able to get one if I have to look after him too. I have only ever worked as a painter or some construction and laboring.

I know its bad that i havent been there for him. i left home when i was 17 cuz of my moms boyfriend. but I want to change and look after him cuz im his brother. thanks so much for any advice. please tell me if i should post this somewhere else.

PS im in arizona if that is important. sorry if i have spelling mistakes.

edit - my brother is also mentally disabled he has the mental capacity of around a 9 year old. so I think I need to become a guardian. I dont know what paperwork my mom has or if she will coperate with signing him over to me. we don’t talk and I fount out about everything from my aunt who came to help for a short amount of time. sorry for spelling mistakes
