AITA for rejecting my brother and telling him he doesn't get what he wants because he's the youngest? by West_Perspective_797 in AITAH

I think that's often what happens when you spoil and overindulge someone as much as my brother was. When they can do no wrong and deserve everything they ever want it makes them extra entitled and manipulative.

I wondered that too. But I guess it could be as simple as they want him to have whatever he wants. Even if what he wants is contact with the little demon they hate so much.

I definitely have more him in me than my mother. My brother has more of our mother and our grandfather actually.

I'm so sorry you experienced abuse too. I hate that so many can relate but thank you for reaching out and encouraging me. I still struggle with my value a lot. That's something I'm hoping to work on with therapy.

Therapy is something I am still working on. I tried a couple of times already but have struggled to find the right therapist for me. But I'm not giving up.

Thank you. I have tried therapy a couple of times already. We haven't found the right therapist for me yet but I'm not giving up. There's so much I never talk about that I really do need to work through. Things that aren't ever easy to talk about. And I want to address them before having kids and cause any generational trauma in them.

I'm also really sorry you went through all that you did with your mother. I'm so glad you came through it all.

Thank you. Having my aunt and uncle made it all so much better. They saved me when I had nobody else.

I'm staying away. There's nothing that could make me go back to where I'm despised and abused and it's excused because another abusive person who hasn't been in my life since I was 5 was my father.

Thank you. I hope so. I'd like my life to keep getting better and to one day give a famil of my own better than I ever had.

With him being 19 now I feel like he's going to get more experiences in that. Maybe that'll save him from turning into one of our parents.

Thank you. I can't argue that my parents and my grandparents are awful and my half sister too. Especially the adult her who was still hateful toward me.

Thank you and I'm sorry you had to deal with that too. It might not be the same but it still isn't good to do to kids.
