I know I sound like an asshole, but I've sunk more time and energy into that kid than anyone, and until he actually WANTS to stop acting like a total cunt I don't see what everyone else expects me to do with him.

This is what happens in my family if you aren't married by 23: you become everybody's fucking babysitter, gossip dump, filler-in and general grunt. I'm set that I'm not fucking having this one right now, but I just know it's gonna cause drama if he pulls any more shit and my mother tries to kick him onto me.
Oh HELL no. At this point, it's not just about what you're willing to do for him (although frankly, I think you've done plenty already considering that he's your brother and not your fucking kid); it's about the sheer imposition. Tell them you also have a roommate to consider who wouldn't appreciate some coked-up 17 yr old crazying up the place that he's paying to live in too, and who could probably live without half his shit being stolen every time he pops out. Even if you weren't already having a crappy time with the whole break-up thing at the moment, this is just too much to ask.
