Thank you for the response and sharing your experience. I'm sorry for both of us we had to go through what we did.

My brother was physically abusive to me as well, not extreme, but almost everytime he would even just walk past me, as children, he would hit me. I also fear his anger although I have not seen it flare for a long time. But it is part of the fear & anxiety I feel being around him.

Your brother sounds like a monster. Be careful and don't expect too much. He sounds like he might even increase the smirky cards to you if he knew they hurt you. Good luck and take care of yourself.
