It'd be horrible to be the one getting his ass kicked and pretty shitty to be the one who has to deal with the stress of witnessing it. | ||

Why not sit your brothers down and draw a schedule for the lappy? If one doesn't follow the rules, he has to do one of the other person's chores. Would solve some disputes at least, since you'd have it written down. Hope things get better soon. | ||

He moved to Toronto to work (I live in Winnipeg) and he can only get so much time off work to come visit. Family is amazing if you work at it (and get lucky that your relatives reciprocate). Even though I'm not in your situation, I still think I can offer some advice. It sounds like you're closing off your world from your family. Sounds like you have one bedroom that you escape to and the rest live in the common area. I think you need to take an active part in helping out your family sort out it's problems rather than complain about it and try to move out. As I said, a healthy family is an invaluable asset. It gets to the point where you honestly don't give a shit what happens to your family because they put so much stress on you. I've been in a situation almost exactly like the OP's (but I was younger and my father was abusive and my brother is an aspy who I take care of). At least, you TRY not to give a shit, but you always end up worrying yourself to death. Getting along really isn't that easy when it feels like only you are trying. Especially if you hate their guts to begin with. | ||

At least, you TRY not to give a shit, but you always end up worrying yourself to death. Getting along really isn't that easy when it feels like only you are trying. Especially if you hate their guts to begin with. Yeah, I can empathize with such a difficult situation. However, I don't think anyone should give up trying unless the situation is beyond repair: legally insane family members or something. Your family are the only people who truly care for you unconditionally. I have scores of friends but even the ones I've known for fifteen years don't have the same care as a family member. My parents want to help me any way they can. Good family members really care how you're doing and help you work through problems. To illustrate, it's like the difference between empathy and sympathy. I can empathize with my friend who's father died. However, I can't put myself in his shoes and really feel what he's feeling. Unless you want to become a deranged social worker, you can't care that much about everyone else; family sympathizes and supports you. P.S. I know this isn't a reassuring post. Although you think the situation is unfair because of the fights and living situation, you need to try and be a part of the solution. Showing you care about your family can change their behaviour. That's the first step in creating change, which I recommend by this post. | ||
