If you can't beat them, join them!! Take a few weeks off work, get some buddies (bigger is better) and move right in. You're now a room mate. Be the most obnoxious roomy you can be. When they tire of you, and try to remove you from the property, charge them with assault. Make their life a living hell. Have some fun with it. Your brother did say you could stay at his place anytime you wanted didn't he?

I'm reading all this in awe...sorry about your situation and I really hope you get through this. Sorry for the loss of your brother.
