PRCHICK · 07-12-2007, 04:15 PM

So heres the deal i have been off to college for my freshmen year this past year and i guess i didn;t relize how bad things are at home. My little brother who is 16 and a junior has consumed my moms life. My grandma was dying of cancer because it finally hit is peak and i think ur mind and engery was focused there that my little brother basically took advantage of her and snuck out of the house,ditch school,drive drunk, lie. i mean he can tell me waht he ate for breakfest and i wouldnt believe him. he would just lie and lie. and i dunno its hard to come home for school and just live with this total starnger that u dont know or dont trust. i feel like my lil brother has passed away and in his place is this stranger that verbally abuses the whole family and creates so much tension in the house taht its overwhelming. i think im at the point now where im so emotionally hurt by him taht i created this type of rage inside of me . i hate feeling this way. get this the night my grandma passed away he snuck out and my stepdad had to go look for him at 130 am to find him and tell him my grandma passed and when he found that out he didnt want to fly to indiana to her funreal for he can throw a party. i dunno im just over it. and i have so much anger in me that it scares me.

PRCHICK......... talking to a counselor may help you. You dont have to be crazy or deranged to need to get things off your chest, or to see things from someone else's perspective. I will pray for you and your family. I know its hard when someone you love so much hurts you, but more than likely he is hurting too and he doesnt know how to deal with things either. I know its a hard situation. Good luck to you.

Hi..

Your brother needs counseling, doesn't he? He is an accident waiting to happen and your folks need to step up the plate and be Tough Love parents. Maybe you should encourage them to go to that group..

But, you are an adult now. My advice to you is to find a job at college and don't come home for the summer next year...Sublet an apartment and work like crazy to support yourself.

Your parents are the ones in charge of your brother..They need to deal with it..

and, go to counseling if you need peace in your life..But, remember YOU can only change YOU..sweetie.

a counselor may help you just make sure that you find the right one.Sorry for all of the pain that you have faced.
Exercise is also very helpful with stress.
