I feel awful for my brother. he’s always been the butt of the joke in this family. i love him more than anything, and I always understand how he feels because our parents are narcissists with massive egos. I’m the youngest child, he’s just three years older than me. my parents have always been in a bad mood near him, and they just love to pester him about everything, it drives him insane. he’s leaving for college soon, and he’s trying to teach me tricks on how to deal with our parents, but everytime he says something it just makes me feel even worse for him. imagine being the oldest child and having to watch your little sibling go through the exact same emotional abuse that you’ve experienced. our parents have never once tried to communicate with us after fights, and rarely apologize to us. they also only focus on our grades rather than how we’re feeling, which is a major factor in why he’s moving for college. I just don’t know what to do, knowing that I’ll just end up in a loop.
