Hello, I go by Qwynndolynn and use she/they pronouns
Just got home from work and I go to the bathroom, my dad knocks on the door and I answer "I'm in here" my dad doesn't hear me and assumes I'm my brother to which my brother responds "It's Qwynn!" Immediately my dad gets upset and shouts "He doesn't even fuckin say anything!" My brother also latches on and goes "I know, he just ignores us!"
For context I wear my headphones a lot to avoid the mean comments my family makes everyday, but I wasn't listening to anything this time. My family is used to me always sitting down and taking their abuse, but this time I shout back "I said I was in here, open your f***ing ears!"
My dad gets upset and says "Really?"
Attempting to make me feel powerless in the moment with the fact that I still live with him and I can't afford to move out. My brother chimes in "You're gonna get your ass beat!" My dad finishes with "watch your language!"
Trying to make it sound like his reply was clever and he has complete control of the situation. "Really, what is this f***in 3rd grade?" I reply and leave the bathroom.
My brother shouts again "You better shut your mouth before you get your ass kicked!" "Yeah right, for swearing?" I reply. My brother shouts "You're stressing out our parents and swearing at them!" "How am I stressing them when you and dad are the two who started yelling at me?" I reply, and I shit you guys not, but
my brother is so brain dead he immediately took the opportunity to say "You think your a woman in a man's body and trying to be a girl!"
I tried to bring him back to the main argument and told him that he lets everything bother him to which he storms off to his room like last time only this time
he says "I've got a gun!"
*For those wondering, yes he does have a gun.
My mother being the one person who I can thank for trying to understand why I was so upset says "ok we're done, its over, we're not doing this." A little late than never, but atleast there's someone who wants to drop something that shouldn't have grown into a full on argument.
I'm still trying to save to move out, but I need a new car since my current car is very unreliable. Just wanted to write about another shitty experience I had with my family.
The irony of my brother always acting like he cares for the family yet he'll threaten to shoot me in front of our parents.
