Honestly I am just as angry at my mom. Something I should point out is that he definitely gets his behavior from her. When we were younger, she would do the exact same thing all the time. She would get angry over something meaningless, for example someone spilling food on the floor, and she would take out her anger on all of us. As we got older, she stopped doing that, and first my other brother would do the same thing. He eventually grew out of it, and now my youngest brother has taken his place. When my brother does it, she will often just let it go, but when she is pushed over the edge, she will start getting really hateful, like now. Yesterday he tried to act normal with her like he did with me, and she continued to be mean. Today he went back to college and she is still acting cold. I understand that he was being a jerk, but I think she is taking things too far. I personally have never been able to understand how a person can continue being mean to someone who is trying to be nice and patch things up. And when it's a mom doing that with her son it just seems very wrong to me. Not to mention the fact that she has done this kind of thing for years, how can she judge him for it?

As for my brother, it's mainly the fact that he should know how mom is, and therefore should realize that throwing tantrums is liable to cause a huge problem for everyone. But despite this, he continues to do the same thing. I don't know if it's that he can't control himself or that he doesn't think or what. I keep my anger bottled up all the time, for purpose of not causing these problems, so why can't he do the same? It's like the whole universe revolves around him and his stupid emotions. It's not like he even has any reason to be angry: he is in college, getting good grades, meeting girls, enjoying the social scene. I would kill to have a life like his. But that's not good enough for him, he has to come here and create drama so I have to suffer emotional distress.

Yes I do intend on moving out one of these days. I am so sick of dealing with this ********.
