You can't do anything!!!!! He is old enough to make his own mistakes

I really feel bad, and I can offer advice.  Send him to a drug abuse center WITH NO DRUGS so that he doesn't get any bright ideas.  The most important thing right now is to bring the family together.  Once that is over, Mom will be happy.

Tell your mom that she is not helping him by giving him money. Get some tough love and call the cops on him. Perhaps some jail time will make him learn.

You need to CUT HIM OFF! Your mom needs to do the same. All you are doing is enabling his bad behavior. All he is doing is causing your family pain. He is a grown man who needs to figure it out on his own. You said it already, no matter what you do, his behavior stays the same. He know how to manipulate your mother, and that is what he continues to do because she allows it. 

It's not what people do to us, It is what we ALLOW them to do to us!
