Maybe he's lonely... But then he should look for friends in his age-category (uhm... hope you know what I mean >.<), who are on the same level as he is and not look for glorification of his children...
My relationship with my brother is complicated. We used to have an awful lot of physical fights when we were younger. He broke my finger once  At the same time we were (and are) very clingy. He texts me if he needs advice, or money, or help with school work etc.. He used to crawl into my bed sometimes when he was scared  I really adore him and would do everything for him. T once said that it sounds like I'm his caregiver, not his sister, but that's ok for me. |
I know what you mean
my dad doesn't really have close friends I think. He brags about himself to everyone, even his siblings get annoyed.
I still think your dad ranting forbhours is scary. Parents can be good and bad, complex people. The good doesn't negate the bad.
Ouch, broken finger sounds agonizing! Sibling relationships are so weird sometimes.
Wow, I agree with your T. You're caregiving. I get what you mean about adoring your brother.
He's lucky to have you! I adore my younger brother so I'm willing to do a lot for him. T always says I need to care for myself too and not just my younger brother
