Re: Venting

[(Anonymous)]

A bit over two months ago my brother and I had a fight that ended with him punching me in the face a few times. He's an asshole ex(?probably not)junkie with an undiagnosed mental illness (likely on the schizophrenia spectrum) who has been terrorising my family with his bullshit for years/decades. To top things off, my mother basically blames the fight getting physical on me because I "touched him first" (I pushed him away when he threatened me with violence) and is miffed that I don't want any contact with him at the moment.
So yeah, it's his birthday today and I don't intent to contact him. But considering the guilt tripping my mother does plus my own ingrained idiocy that can't stop feeling guilty/bad for the guy I'm not feeling great. Which is dumb because he probably doesn't give a fuck anyway and in the end I'm likely more bothered about this than him. So ugh. 0 Points, would not recommend.

Sorry, but your mom can go fuck herself. I won't pretend to understand anything about wanting to see one's kids get along or navigating behavioral health issues in the family or whatever, I'm not a parent, but JFC. You have literally been put in danger by him and all she's concerned about is you hurting HIS feelings (which are probably really her feelings). Fuck that noise, fuck that enabling bullshit. You have a right to protect yourself.

Yeah. She's been slowly coming around because other people (among them an old friend of hers with a son very similar in behaviour and history as my brother) told her I was in fact not the guilty party but she is a person who is very set in her opinion (and also never apologises if she was in the wrong). She basically operates under the "the person who gets physical first is always the one at fault" assumption. I did ask her if I should have waited for him so punch me first to which her only comment was "you don't know that he would have hit you if you hadn't started it" and like... damn it woman, I love you but that is not how self-defense under threat of bodily harm works.

Fuck, I'm sorry, dude. Fuck your guilt-tripping, gaslighting family, honestly. I'm in no way trying to invalidate any love you feel for them because I know that they're your family and that shit's complicated. But from an outside perspective: you are right, they are wrong, and the dynamic they are forcing you to be part of is so fucking toxic and not fair to you.

Thank you. It's fortunately fairly under control atm but it still stings to be blamed for this whole mess.
