So when I was younger, I was very close to my brother. There is a 6 year age gap between us and he had always been the protective big brother.
We were pretty much close until he got into a relationship. Once that happened, he stopped messaging me and stopped talking to me in general. He married her and honestly, I’m very close to my sister in law. Whenever he does come and see everyone and we have a family get together, he’s always making nasty comments to me, and it’s not the teasing comments that siblings go through. I mean this should have pretty much stopped by now as we are both full grown adults. He’s even ended up breaking my glasses and laughed about it knowing full well that I need them.
He knows that I have been in an abusive relationship and yet he still swings things near my face laughing when I flinch. Even one night at a family BBQ, we were reminiscing our childhood and I brought up how when we went on vacation with our grandparents and how we would tell each other scary stories in middle of the night, and he suddenly changed saying that if I knew what he really thought of me for all these years I’d be hurt. It’s like we were chatting about a nice story and he comes out with that, even my sister in law told him not to say anything.
but I think it just hurts so much that I see everyone in my friendship group or family have close relationships with their siblings and I don’t feel that there is anything there to salvage with my brother anymore. I just know that we are going to eventually drift apart for good and it hurts so much.
