Disfunctional family!

My family is somewhat similar. Me and my brother have always fought from a very young age. Since he reached about ten years old he became much more aggressive. He's dyslexic and does not do well at school, whereas I was always very bright at school. I think this has caused him a lot of resentment for the world in general. Like you, me and brother have not had the same kind of relationship as my friends have with their siblings. We're just too different.

The last 2 years he's been more aggressive towards my mum too. Swearing, truanting and god knows what else. I like to try and keep the peace, but he sees this as taking my mum's side.

My dad works in London Mon-Fri (we live in Glasgow) so he doesn't see much of it either. My brother is always more careful when my dad's in the house - he disciplines much more severely than my mum ever will.

I'm sorry I don't have much advice - just know that you are not alone. I take it your the oldest also (I don't understand English school system, so I don't know how old you are :rolleyes:

) . I'm just hoping that things will settle down once the hormones subside, and my brother gets a good dose of maturity - it's certainly long overdue.

It's so bloody difficult isn't it - you just wish your family was more like those of your friends'.

I know the feeling! My sister is exaclty the same as your brother, she's a lazy self sentenced beep! lol. We argue a lot and I know its hard for my parents but recently it has affected my relationship with my mum. All I can say is that your brother will grow out of it in time. Have a word with your parents about it cause its not fair on yourself. Hope this helps :biggrin:

To be honest I'd just beat the living **** out of my brother if he was doing that to my mum. He'll stop bullying her pretty fast if you just kick him about when he does it.
