Hello HelplessSis: I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to Psych Central.
I'm sorry you & your parents are having so much difficulty with your brother. I do agree that your parents need to figure out a way to stop enabling him. Here are links to 10 articles, from Psych Central's archives, on the subjects of thinking (or perhaps hoping) you can change others as well as on establishing boundaries. Perhaps some of these may be articles you could share with your parents too?:
You Can Only Change Yourself
Stop Trying to Change People Who Don't Want to Change | Happily Imperfect
When You Want to Change a Loved One
How You Can Help Too Much/Psychology of Women | Psychology of Women
