Quote From: gallucci
I too have a brother that has been mooching off my parents for 33 years. They have provided him a free house, where he lives by himself all this time. now after he lost lots of money in a business they gave him money to start, he claims he is sick and can't work anymore. They support him financiall monthly also. My parents have always gone along with this crap from him. He's a mama's boy, 53 yrs. old, never been married and no children. My mother rules the roost in their household and my father just has to go along with her to keep peace. He's a wimp really. My parents do not help me, never have, I'd made them a ton a money in a business they invested in that I had and they still consider me the red headed step child. I have major health problems, cannot work and haven't for years, thank god for savings which has almost run out and because I brought up my feelings about this problem, now my mother won't speak to me, and my dad goes along with it. They are old school Italian, could this be part of the problem?. I cry everyday, live alone, went thru psychatric counseling to deal with this for 30 years and I still have major depression and am bi polar and on meds since 1980. After all these years I finally got my mother into a couselor of her choice for her and I, all she did was lie to the counselor, the counselor told her she had to treat her children fairly and she wanted her to put the same amount of money in my checking account each month to help me like they do my brother. That was 8 months ago and I've never seen a dime. she thinks I'm jealous of my brother but that really is not the case. I'm just hurt.
anyone have any suggestions for me to deal with the hurt? you are absolutly right to be hurt. theres obviosly nothing you can do to get through to your mom. and you cant really blame your brother, it sounds like hes got it from your dad. your dad must also have some issues becuase he cant stand up as a man and speak his opinion. it is sad. A man(your brother) should stand on his own two fucking feet. and your mom should be ashamed to have raised such a failure and on top of that shes supporting his fucking laziness. what you can do is move on family are the ones to cause the worst pain one can endure. but, god forbid but ,when your parents pass on whos going to take care of your brother than. its sad becuase your mom is obviosly not thinking of that now is she.
