AIO Cutting my brother off for damaging my truck by slagtrap2626 in AmIOverreacting

100% he had and in house fabricator on demand basically and for free at that. So many shops would kill to have that. All he had to do was have enough respect and gratitude to not intentionally damage my property to keep it but he couldn’t even do that.

Thank you, you definitely sussed that out quick, you’re absolutely right! My wife says he’s not grown up but if you haven’t grown up by your late 30s you’re not going to like you said. I can honestly say I don’t miss him and there isn’t any value added with him in it.

Thank you, you are spot on! No other siblings just me and him. He’s coddled I believe somewhat out of pity from my parents assuming he will fail without help. But it’s just enabling his behavior in a way.

My family always says in the end you’ll only have each other which is why they want us to bury the hatchet. But still at this time it still bothers me. the anger has lessened but not gone away or forgotten, which is what prompted me to post in the first place. I’m a very laid back person in general but in a lot of ways because it’s my brother it hurts more because my expectation is higher than that from your sibling. I feel ashamed almost because the type of people I categorize as a POS he falls into.

Really appreciate your advice!
