My guess is that your mother is being controlled by your brother and is probably scared for her safety. His popping out and screaming is a good sign of this issue. He is so much better off in rehab...but your family won't want to deal with you if you turn him in. Why can't you alert the police anonymously and then they can pick him up in the act of buying or selling...you'll not be connected at all!
Everyone needs help in this family to deal with the drug problem. There is an AA sort of meeting that deals with family of abusers, sort of like Al-anon. I'm sure you and mom would learn better what to do if you attend a few of these together. Good luck!

Well, I assume your brother will be at your mom's?
Why is everyone having their own Christmas? (I understand why your mom and dad aren't celebrating together)
I pick grandma's house. I assume your brother won't be there and maybe you can visit with your mom Christmas Eve when he's gone (??)

You can't force your mom to stop enabling your brother to treat people like dog crap.... you are right, it's HER home and she is responsible for "order" within the home... apparently, she is letting your brother walk all over her, when he needs to be booted out on his a*ss.
You have the right to cry... it's sad. You cant' change it though... if it were me, i would not go to Mom's for christmas dinner, if my brother were going to behave like an idiot....
Sometimes we have to do what is best for OURSELVES, only... taking care of YOU is what is most important right now... and i hope you will.
happy holidays hon.
