Ok. This is my last question about the behavior of family members. I just need to know if I should just "let it roll off my back" or should I get the heck (I want to say hell) out of here: My brother came over to my father's and I was bending over picking up my father's tissue for hundredth time. I looked up with discomfort on my face and my brother intentionally makes the same look on his face, mocking me, as if saying "What's wrong? Too much effort?". My brother is an adult. He knows I have been toiling away here, on my feet for hours a day, cooking, cleaning and catering to every whim of my father. This will change in February when he goes into assisted living but right now I am having a very difficult time dealing with what I consider abuse from my "brother". Has anyone else been treated like this? Is it abuse?
My husband's siblings fight constantly and call them "discussions." Princes William and Harry fight and throw each other into dog bowls. Meghan Markle's sister calls her "Princess Pushy." My brother used to punch me in the shoulder and call me Dognose before he grew up. IT'S NORMAL.
EVERYONE who has a sibling has fussed with those siblings to one extent or another. You and Harry seem to be the only people on this planet who think it isn't normal. 🙄
"My brother is an adult. He knows I have been toiling away here, on my feet for hours a day, cooking, cleaning and catering to every whim of my father." For whatever reason, you chose to care for your Dad when there were other options. You continue to put up with the disrespect this two men give you. I would have left long ago. You are not going to change Dad or your brother at this point. Its what it is.
Don't engage with lisatrevor. It's just trolling.
What do you want from us? There is nothing we can do for you, move on.
THANK-YOU!
I think everyone has been saying that since day one.
What happens when (if?) your father goes to AL and there is no one to do this for him?
