another year of my brother still living with our parents. he is older, and yet his sisters are all married and living away from home. part of me wonders if this was a trigger for him deciding to transition. maybe he was of the thinking that if he gave in to the AGP thoughts and made the leap, he would also be married and living away from home. but he isn’t. he’s still with our parents.
he always tells me about his problems with living at home when we talk, part of me thinks he wants a handout or the spare room in my house. he’s insane if he thinks i’m letting him stay with me for even a second, i’m never leaving my laundry unattended with him again. i tell him to leave the city and find somewhere cheaper to be by himself but he won’t do it. it’s like he wants to be a child forever, complete with arguing with mom and dad and having all his meals cooked. i don’t know why my parents enable it.
it all has me so floored. he’s not taking care of either of them, or contributing any money. he saves his money to go on holidays and buy clothes instead of trying to find his own place to live. it’s like he doesn’t care, and he’s just letting life happen to him and pass him by. i don’t know how he’s not having panic attacks every single day about how things are going.
i know logically i shouldn’t care this much. he violated my trust and stole personal things from me. but he’s my brother, somewhere in my heart i just want it to all not be true. for me to wake up to the day before he told me, and realize it was all a dream. but it’s not a dream, this is life now and i need to accept it. i wish things were different. at least i have my loving husband, my in laws, my friends, and my kiwibros!
