Blair: I don't mean to sound abrupt but I think that it's not reasonable to expect your brother to change as there is no guarantee that he will not maliciously (ok, maybe this is in the "up" phase of bipolar) injure you and ruin your life. I hope that you can get the hell out ASAP, get your bearings as you *fuse*. I'd sleep on friends' floors/sofas if it would not injure me if in your shoes.
Unsolicited advice: if your brother's over 18 years old and is unmedicated, how about your parents considering moving him to a group psychiatric home where he'll learn responsiblity towards others and adult skills.
Wishing you well. - Allan
