Try thinking of him as your "little" brother, For that is what he actually is. Might give a new perspective on what love and compassion are meant to be. That is not to say you should be the martyr and let anyone walk on you.
Seems you are at a likely crossroads in your relationship with him. Time to decide if he is worth the effort, and if you can learn anything by living the susequent trial period.
