I have some good news regarding my problem with my brother who likes to be the alpha male in the house.
When I went to my medical doctor's appointment yesterday over my diabetes and told her that I'd stopped my diabetic meds because of my depression over how my brother has made my life misserable with his control freak, bullying behavior, lies and manipulative tactics she decided to put my physical medical needs off for a future appointment and brought in a mental health therapist to talk to me.

I filled out some questionnaires, talked to the therapist in detail about all that has happened since my brother and I started living together and how I had been taking the diplomatic approach with him to keep the peace and how he has taken advantage of that and even makes up special rules that I have to follow.
I told the therapist about the DID-like symptoms and the intense bullying and horrible anger and even the thoughts of harming my brother (which have resurfaced after almost 20 years. That had been over a similar situation.) and she was very understanding and sympathetic about my situation and problems.

So, anyway, they are going to work on getting me a sooner appointment with my psychiatrist, alternative transportation for my appointments and therapy.
They also want to help me to get out of here and work toward getting my own place.
I love my brother and I don't want to let the negative feelings in me take over but, I am so sick of his abusive behavior and I came mighty close to consider moving out on the street and giving up everything just to get away. Living with him really is that bad.

He doesn't know of my plans to escape and he isn't going to know until right before I leave.
I know he is going to flip out but, he brought it on himself.
People who take advantage of kind-hearted or soft-hearted people deserve to have the rug yanked out from under them.
