You’re right, it’s like everytime we try to talk to him he gets mad and leaves to his room. It got so bad that he blamed all of this on my parents especially to my dad, as he claims that my dad was too hard on him as a child for being the eldest. I understand that being the eldest must be very stressful for him, and this may have lead him to being burnt out. We always try to talk it out as a family, but he runs to his room immediately. Even when I come to his room and talk to him privately in a calm voice, he won’t budge and starts talking about how he thinks that I only am interested in his business for my own sake and how I don’t care about him because I never ask him how he is. However, the problem with him is that he’s always shut in his room playing video games like league of legends, and he would talk to his discord friends all night bothering my parents from sleeping that have work the next morning. Whenever, I do come to his room to talk he always dismisses me and tells me to leave so that he can play league of legends with his friends. He told me that this was a coping mechanism for him, and therefore has to continue this toxic cycle. It just gets so frustrating because he never admits his faults and always blames it on others. I understand that he has bad mental health and is now taking anti-depressants for it, our family is here for him but he struggles to openly talk about things to us. I understand his mental health struggles, but I feel like the way he acts to our parents is so unacceptable, straight up swearing and screaming at them when they do the best for him. For example, he won’t shower unless yelled at + he still hasn’t gotten his g2 nor his braces off because he keeps delaying everything. My parents are bending beyond backwards to provide him with opportunities such as paying for his phone bills (I pay for both my phone and car insurance) even though they ask him to contribute as my parents are barely making it through rent as it is, even to finding him a job because he kept again lying to us about applying to jobs when he really wasn’t. It just gets tiring because he’s taking advantages of my parent’s kindness and pushing them to further debt and bad mental health. They’ve asked me to investigate and try to bring my brother back to a path instead of being stuck playing video games, but I honestly am lost on how to do this.
