I do not understand my brother. He gets it far easier than i did when i lived at home yet all he can do is be disrespectful to my Mum. Shouting in her face and making her feel bad. It isn't like he's a teenager either. He's going to be 20 this year, an adult, and he doesn't respect anyone. The only person he's bothered about is his girlfriend, who we all don't like. I wanted to like her for his sake and I still try, but she's rude, she never makes any effort to talk, it's always like a one sided conversation, she's got him spun round her finger. Anything she asks him to do she does. I've used someone myself before so i know when someone's being played. Difference between me and them is that I know I was in the wrong and I'd never treat anyone like that again. She takes the living p*** out of everything she makes him do. He used to be the good one out of all of us siblings. Always saving his money, always helping out our parents. Now, he's the one who is in so much debt and making my mum ill from yelling all of the time. I can't even speak to him rationally and tell him we are all worried about him, as then he shouts at me.
