I'm just going to jump into this.
Over the holidays, I get to see a lot of my immediate family. My family consists of my Mom, a brother, and two sisters (my Dad passed away from a brain tumor). All of my siblings have moved out and are attending college/working. I'm the only one left living at home, because I'm the youngest by three years. The rest of my siblings are 2 years and closer. Today, all three of my siblings were in town. And it was hell. Since I'm the youngest of my family, all of my siblings are used to me being less educated, less opinionated, and less likely to be correct. However, This isn't true anymore.
So here's my issue: They still treat me like I'm a kid that doesn't know what he's talking about and that bugs the HELL out of me. This combined with my Bi-polar disorder, is a disaster. After a day of almost constant corrections, mos of which were incorrect, I was ready to throw a right hook at my brother and cuss out my sisters. Which I really don't want to do.
And here's where you guys come in. How do I break this role that my siblings keep on forcing me into? I'm at wits end, and I might just snap if I don't figure out how to rid myself of this role.
Any help is appreciated
