Nootch Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I have two brothers, both older than me. One is 32 and one is a year older than me at 25. The 32 brother is a cheap, spoiled jew who will screw his family over to make money. The 25 brother is a drug addict and has stolen hundreds of dollars from everyone in my family, (stole and pawned my pistol, but i found and bought it back.) and almost one hundred thousand from a grandparent, which was supposed to be used for college. All went to drugs. Now, he's divorced and couch hopping, high as ever. My mom is in denial and won't give him any tough love which he needs. My oldest brother is a selfish pos who thinks his time is so much more important than anyone else's time. I'm so sick of my brothers i just want to write them off. I don't even answer when my drug addict brother calls anymore. I just hung up on my oldest brother for yet again changing plans to his convenience with no regard to my life and time. Anyone have a garbage sibling? What did you do? I'm so mad, hurt and everything else. I know it's kind of vague but I wanted to see what ppl say before I put any more details. Thanks for input all.

TaraMaiden Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Brothers? my partner won't talk to his, and despite having a twin sister, he hasn't spoken to her for nearly 10 years, she'd an alcoholic control freak. My elder brother is a reclusive, non-communicative hermit who sticks his head in the sand when bad family crap surfaces, and he goes completely AWOL. My younger brother is an impatient jerk who seldom contacts anyone, and is basically self-centred and unreliable. Blood ties doesn't mean you have to like them, or can't UNtie them.

Angel1111 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 They sound like a couple of self-centered brats. You probabaly just need to just keep your distance from them and see them only at family gatherings. Link to post Share on other sites

Author Nootch Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Yup, I do. http://www.loveshack.org/forums/t246310/ LisaLee, interesting story about your brother. It is similar to mine, except my brother was married for a little while, but she was a piece of work too, so no loss there lol. I'm in the same boat of trying to get my mom to take action so he can flounder on the bottom for a bit before hopefully bouncing back up. Thank you Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have a garbage sibling, but I do have a sibling with whom I don't get along right now. We used to be pretty close, but things have been steadily progressing downhill for the last 10 years, and particularly the last five. I think that people change as they get older. Sometimes people fight because they just don't agree with the changes that people make. Other times, it's pretty obvious that someone is turning into a disaster in life and they need some sort of intervention and self-awareness. Sounds like your brothers might fit the second profile. Still, I wouldn't write them off completely. They're your brothers. I totally relate to family being a pain in the ass sometimes, but sometimes people turn around unexpectedly.
