Responsibility of a Brother

So there is an issue that has been struggling within me for awhile and I am pretty confident in my resolution, however, I think I would feel more comfortable with such a concept as to discuss it with my fellow Avalonians. I have two brothers, one who is 21 and the other 12. I live with my parents in Maine while the the other brother is in school in Connecticut. My intuition for the past year has been heavily reinforcing in me that I need to stay home as they need me more than I need them.

Anyways, I feel I have a great deal of responsibility for my youngest brother, and it one of the main reasons I still live at home (actually, moved back in). I helped raise him, and feel much more than a big brother to him at times. He is one of my best friends. And he has so much promise in this world. He is very intelligent, is great at designing and creating things and is absolutely full of creativity and curiosity.

However, with the times to come, I have been debating the notion within me if things get bad, when they get bad, and especially if at a sudden extreme that could happen, do I take my brother into my full responsibility if my parents continue to be naive along the lines of thinking their son is "crazy" (aka me), disregarding whatever I have to say. If you all understand this controversial idea without me elaborating further on it, I would appreciate very greatly other peoples' views on the topic. Thank you and namaste.
