Re: gotta vent

[(Anonymous)]

Your brother sounds like a spoiled git, but honestly I have an issue with your parents here. Not only are they enabling him, but they've made you pay his share?

Re: gotta vent

[(Anonymous)]

yeah that sounds like shitty parenting honestly

my brother would often get away with being a complete shithead, then when i got angry at him, my parents would get angry at ME for being angry at HIM
instead of just punishing him for being a little shit

and now he is an adult manbaby who refuses to take any responsibility for his actions

honestly, OP, you don't owe him anything. it's unfair of them to put so much stress and responsibility on you, and let him sit on his ass all day.

Re: gotta vent

I have had experience of this on a much smaller scale (mainly just bad behavior from my brother) but my parents are doing their honest best, and we both have our issues. I can't imagine going through it like this. I'd lose it. :(

Re: gotta vent

OP
I think my mom is doing her very best. We have a difficult situation and it isn't easy on her either. I feel awful when I bring it up to her because she has enough on her plate without my whining :(

Re: gotta vent

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry to pry, but what is the difficult situation? (if that's too personal, please feel free to ignore)

Re: gotta vent

[(Anonymous)]

OP
sorry this is late... in case you're still around...
the difficult situation stems from my dad being an alcoholic. She has to support him too, and always has.

Re: gotta vent

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry to hear that, OP.

But even if your dad is an alcoholic, it shouldn't fall on you to support the household. I don't know how much help and/or counseling your dad is getting, but either it isn't enough or your mother may be enabling him as well (maybe not in the drinking, but in the sense he may possibly feel he can't or doesn't need to get a job that contributes more to the household). But I also know I'm going on very little information and am likely making a lot of bad assumptions as well.

All I can say is that this is an unhealthy dynamic that needs to change. You say your family needs you to take care of them. But if you don't find a way to take care of yourself, how long do you think you'll be around, much less to do the task currently being asked of you?

Re: gotta vent

[(Anonymous)]

If your mom is enabling your alcoholic father, then frankly she's probably setting you up, intentionally or not, for you to do the same thing with your brother. There is a really unhealthy balance between the sexes going on here, and it's probably only going to get worse rather than better.

(Also, if you can afford it? Maybe get a lock for your bedroom door.)
