<font color="purple">In my opinion, the line between sibling rivalry and sibling abuse is just way too blurry. Since birth my older brother has never stoped harassing me. But the thing is- it's considered prety much normal so no matter hOW bad he treats me, it's pretty much just called sibling rivalry and I just have to suck it up.

There are times when my brother is NICE to you know, but I'm sick of him. I've been sick of him for 8 years now. I'm sick of him to the point where even if he IS nice, I just don't care anymore.

You may ask yourself ho it got this way- it's because of the complete and utter disrespect he has for me, and how even when I try, there is absolutely NOTHING I can do in return. It's not like my parents can influence him much anymore either now because he's 18. He breaks all of the rules when they aren't around (he's been like that since he was in 3rd grade...) I swear he has the emotional maturity of of a 14 year old

But the thing is, I know in my heart that I still love him. </font>
