Here is my take, pardon my bluntness...
Your parents have too much income and too much time on their
hands.
They are very fortunate. Its a good life for them...but they need to get a handle on how
much money this actually is, and they need to create a Living Trust as soon
as possible to straighten out the money situation.
Your brother sounds like sort of a screw-up. He makes bad
choices in the women that he is with and doesnt seem to
appreciate the good financial gifts that he has received from his
parents.
The spiral between your parents and their irresponsibility with
their money + your brothers personal irresponsibility = a state of
conflict that is spiralling down to you. They all know its screwed
up but they refuse to take responsibility for straightening it out
and the money is "padding" the situation...money has a way of
making one forget about responsibilities and taking things for
granted.
You have already done the proper thing so far...If I were you,
I would clearly state to your parents and to your brother that
you have had enough, and you will not longer listen to any of
their BS. Any time the topic of conversation even comes close to
reaching that topic....I would cut them off abruptly and tell them
that you are not going there. End of story. No further discussion.
