Ladies - anyone else have a problem with an elder brother who is cruel to you? [View all]
There's just the two of us left now in our natal family and the few interactions we have leave me feeling so miserable.
.
He jibes me at everything I say or try to say. He accuses me of screwing everything up, of talking too much, of making inappropriate comments, etc.
My husband can't stand that I still try to talk to him but there were points in my life where he wasn't so mean (he always was a little mean) and he helped me quite a bit through periods in my life when I was lost.
Now that we are both seniors I feel I must still try to maintain a relationship with him.
He lives alone like a hermit, has no friends (doesn't want any) and is obsessed with himself and his health.
I just don't understand why he enjoys hurting me so much and seems to revel in these verbal cuts he's always giving me.
He is a mysogonist and always has been but he's never been this mean before.
Ladies, do any of you have a cruel older brother like this?
Thank you.
