Brotherly Love

[Black_Bird]

... over the last three to four weeks my brother has:

1) Lied to my parents about his intentions of helping them move.
2) Called my parents and myself every derogatory term that has been invented.
3) Lunged at my mother, seemingly to hit her.

I so want to break his arms.

Its awful when a family member acts in a way that you don't approve of, we expect so much more from those who are closest to us.

Sorry that your brother is giving your family a hard time Black_Bird. Going by his behaviour it sounds like he might be young...he might grow out of it?

I'm an only child

Sure it was a bitch to blame broken shit in the house on someone else, but I think I am way better off without a sib.

My brother stole the last of my fathers savings while he was in

hi blackbird! good to see you.

My brother got himself knifed by starting a fight in a strip club.

After he was released from the hospital he cracked up in a brand new jeep my parenhd bought him while drivingunder the influence.

I'm not very close with him.

Sorry.

Some brothers are good.

I'm sorry to hear that B_B. However, you are only responsible for your own behaviour - and you are not part fo the relationship between your brother and your mum or your brother and your dad.

However, when he does use terms of abuse, especially all of them, I suggest you write them down and return them to him, not in malice, but so you don't keep them.

Maybe you could do a list of them here. It might make a useful reference list.

Good to see you Blackbird. I am sorry things are rough in your life. I had three brothers like this and they are in their fourties and never grew out of it. They just recently bilked my widowed mother out of $200,000 in a year. She is broke and on welfare and hates ME because I called Adult Social Services to help her. Sad but true.

The only thing you can do is take care of you my friend. Your parents have their own decisions to make. Living with family dysfunction is never easy.

My thoughts are with you.
