[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have a relationship with them now?  How did you AND your parents cope when either you had no resources for therapy (or meds) or sibling/ child won’t cooperate and go to therapy? Or taking the fu....g meds?  How does it affect your relationships now and as a parent?[/quote]

This was me and my younger brother (4 years younger). I always told my parents that he had severe, undiagnosed behavioral issues. My parents defended him no matter what, including when he stole my bike, rode it down a hill in the middle of the night (my parents had no rules in our house), without his hands on the bars, and destroyed the bike and dislocated his shoulders and broke his wrist. He would call me fat and ugly whenever I walked into the kitchen at the same time as him. He’d plant food in my bed so I’d get in trouble because our only rule was no eating in the bedroom. I bought myself an expensive pair of sneakers (we were the same size at one point) and he stole them and my dad refused to defend me because apparently I was “hoarding” them. My parents refused to force him to do anything he didn’t want to do or treat me with respect. We’ve never had an actual conversation. He can’t sit through a conversation. We have no relationship now.
