My closest brother (in age) picked up on my parent's traits. Except he took it out on me. He was very good at finding out my weaknesses, and just getting into my head... I had pimples, he focuses on my pimples... I have an issue with someone, he gets into my head and makes nasty comments about it. God Damn... he was relentless, and I couldn't get away. And he was right there by my side for 15 years... Then again for a few more after I moved back in with my parents in the 1990's

He would just tell me that people liked him more than me... that he was more handsome., that I was looking old... etc, etc, etc,... He would ask me about certain situations, and then tell me that he knew what really happened, that it was because so and so thought this about me... It was insidious, and nasty, and pretty damn abusive. I'm glad I haven't seen him in several years.. and that he lives in another state.
