OP

(Anonymous) 2015-04-01 08:12 am (UTC)(link)
The funny thing is that my brother WILL usually get people to talk to him by asking them to be his "emotional rock". He repeatedly begs for emotional support, making you feel bad if you ignore him. He'll cry and scream and threaten to commit suicide if that's what it takes to get pity. (FYI: He's 100% not suicidal. He's admitted to me and others multiple times in the past that he just says that to make people feel guilty.)

Then, once you take the bait, he'll subtly switch the topic to money. He's not happy with any solution to his problems that doesn't involve getting free handouts.

Most of our family has caught onto that particular trick, so now it doesn't work as well. I think my dad was hoping he genuinely just wanted someone to talk to, but it took about a day for my brother to ask my dad to pay for a plane ticket so he could go see his ex. Once my dad said no, my brother replied that he wished he "had better parents".

Trust me, he's just being petulant. I believe he DOES care about his family, and doesn't just view us as "walking ATMs", but he's ultimately a very self-centered, immature person, and I can guarantee that he'll be asking my dad to pay for something else next month.
