Hi FrozenFire, This sounds like a really bad position for you to be in right now. Your getting hit with school and family problems simultaneously. Since you say this is going on "lately" I'm figuring that it has not been this way all your life with the teasing and blaming games. For a brother to say that "he wishes you were never born" is not so unusual. Don't get me wrong it's a cruel thing to say but its not unusual. When someone is mad at you, they go for what is going to hurt you the most. Often when a brother says something like that, he really doesn't mean it. It is just said in the heat of the moment. Obviously, your brother has issues and does not know how to deal with them so he is lashing out at you. I think you should just try to ignore him and go about your business. Don't let him know he's getting to you. He'll get tired of himself eventually and will likely be needing you for something down the road, in which case his attitude will noticeably change. If your parents are blaming you for things you haven't done, all you can do is stand up for yourself and hope they come to their senses. Parents don't always know how to handle every situation and they do make mistakes. It hurts, but just know that you did what you could to rectify the situation. Sometimes it takes a while for people to get over themselves and sometimes it takes longer. Hang in there knowing you are entitled to your opinion and they are entitled to theirs. Meanwhile, just concentrate on your studies and call a friend or two to get your mind off of the family stuff. Do something for YOU to lighten your load. ((((HUGS)))))
