Abusive Brother/Family Ok, so I'm 19 and my little brother is 13....yes stare 6 years apart are we. Anyways, he knows that I play around with him (i.e. taking his food and placing it else wheres in the kitchen or pretend to try and eat it). the latest was pretending because he asked who wanted a sandwich, I spoke up and upon seeing him 'cleaning up' after fixing (one sandwich not two) up sandwiches as at the time I truly thought that maybe he was actually being nice for once. Turns out he only fixed himself a sandwich and when I commented on the lack of a second sandwich, he quickly responded with "you can make your own, so fix it yourself" even though asked and offered to make one for anyone that wanted one. So, upon being told that, I playfully picked 'his' sandwich up and pretended that I was going to eat it.........he thusly decided it HIT me yet again. I'm getting sick and tired of him hitting me for no apparent reason. I have always pretended to try and eat his food and he has always tried getting it back playfully as well or once in a while politely ask for me to give it back...but to HIT me was uncalled for and I can't tell our parents because they'll blame me and I'd get in trouble for it instead of him. It's totally not fair that they favor him. Everytime he hits, kicks, bites me, etc. he always gets away with it and I'm the one punished. It's not fair at all to me. This may just sound like sibling jealousy but it truly isn't. He gets everything he asks for/wants i.e. he already has new shoes that he rarely wears but he wants another pair, he asks and he gets. I try the same thing I get turned down before I even get done asking the question. It's not fair and doesn't help me like this family anymore than I already do. I don't love nor do I like this family.....I tolerate them at best. If I had the choice and the funds, I'd be living out of my car just to be away from this emotionally abusive family. My brother at the moment is the only one who hits me now...my dad stopped "spanking me" when I was about 8 or 9 years old because he finally realized that it wasn't working.

	If he does that then just tell him that you were just kidding and to stop being such a d**k. As for your parents, they have to consider your thoughts and feelings too and I think that you should talk to them about it before things get any worse. I hope things work out for ya. Until then, best of luck. <3

	I have and he still does it..my parents..thats a joke in itself. They don't care about me. I've tried talking with them but they won't listen and keep telling to grow up and act my age and that I'm an adult...well yes for the most part but I'm still a teenager as well as a kid at heart. I gave up trying to understand them. I think part of the problem now is that when I was younger about 15 or 16 I believe, I made the mistake of telling them I was of the Pagan Belief System (a witch). Because of that ordeal..I dare not say anything about my sexual preferences to/around them. sighs I can't wait till I can afford to move out and live totally on my own.
