that sorta rhymed.

what's with the violence?????????

don't answer violence with violence....
I gave my advice... Some people are just babied too much in life, I've seen many of my friends' parents do it... and the reality of the matter is that when your brother needs to support his own ass, he won't be able to... and then he will get what he deserves... justice always prevails in time

scare him with the example of tigerclaw....the 30 yr old who still lives at home.....tell him....don't be a tigerclaw...no offence tigerclaw...but this had to be said.

there there.....there there

Yes it was harsh...but how many people want to do that. Move out asap...that's what i'm gonna do...move out on my own when I can afford it.

Become a rebel and stop talking to them and freak out for no reasone make em think your crazy start training with weapons and stuff he starts talking shit get a stick or something and show em you mean buisness then join the military (marines) learn how to kill someone 10 different ways with a straw (no other branch teaches you to do that) then have pride be the better man show em up tell him to go fuck him self hes 23 living with mom and your on your own making your own money not being a loser and rub it in his face

Hey there Mr. Clyde,

Anything physical is really not the answer. Wrath has the large possibility of resulting in long term damage or current termination judging on you and your brother's anger level and agression.

The only advice that I can give you which I took apon myself a while ago is to become more independant and mentally distance yourself. If you must, convince yourself that you don't have a brother. Don't have anything to do with him. Draw the line between you and him. I would say the same for your mom, but that situation is different...she almost sounds like the victim. That line could be thinner.

But, it seems like she will forever take his side, and you will always be hurt by this. Perhaps you shouldn't try to change it and just accept it. Did you ever think that she always takes his side because in the back of her mind she knows that you are the brother that can handle it. Because in all honesty...your brother seems a bit off of his rocker.

Maybe later down the road...maybe many years from now, each one of you will come to a calm and a conscience. Maybe they will regret what they did to you. Maybe you all could be a functioning family again in full force to make up for previous times. And during all of this time, you depended on yourself and therefore didn't turn out to be one of those many angry and disturbed teenagers with no future due to their family disfuctions.

...because you sound really cute, innocent, and 'with it' Mr. Clyde. I would hate for you to screw up your life.

hey man, just got to this thread now.

damn that sucks dude. i agree with what the source said tho.

sometimes you are just stuck in a shitty situation, and you can't do anything about it. you can't change people or expect them to change. you can't beat the shit out of your brother and expect him to magically respect you.
this guy seems like a real class act. 23 years old, living at home, mommy pays for car and car insurance, fucking around with his lil bro. what a deuche bag. brothers are suppost to be tight. respect eachother and be best of friends.
my mom was sorta in a similar situation in her youth. she came from a family of 9 tho, and she was the 3rd oldest. the oldest in the family, her brother, was a real piece of crap. he used to beat up on all the kids all the time (especially my mom). he shot my mom with a bb gun once. burned her with scolding hot water, the stories are endless. and my mom's mom was the submissive religious and mind in the clouds irish catholic. she did whatever she could to stick up for her oldest son. always took his side in everything.
my mom got thru things ok though. she luckly had other siblings who she was close too. eventually she just worked her ass off in highschool and was able to get out of the house and go to college.
that was her escape from everything (her parent's did not want her to go to school at all and refused to pay her first two years, eventually she got them to come around and she got them to atleast pay tuition).
so the best advice i can give to you man is just keep your head straight and don't let your brother provoke you into being upset.
just sit it out and do whatever you can to get your ass out of the house. save up and go to state school, maybe even go live with some friends if you can.
don't let the little stuff he does or him dicking around with you get to you. just be sure to recognize how much of a loser he is, and don't let that bother you. all you can do and should do is feel sorry for the guy.
fighting with your bro ain't gonna solve anything. it'll just perpetuate the harsh feelings between you two. you can't get him to come around and make him see how much of an ass he is, you just gotta give him time.
my mom's bro finaly came around within the past few years. has apologized for being such an ass to everyone.
he's still a dirty stinking hick tho.

seems like the best short term thing to do is get a lock for your room and try to keep everyone out. also keep valuables you don't want taken to a friends house, away from the bro. also get close to your friends, they provide the best immediate support.

In the long run, your gonna have to move soon. looks like there is a lotta pressure in ur house to make many wrong decisions. So get out, move in with a friend and go to school, and be a dj
