This goes beyond sibling rivalry and delves into genuine fear. My brother has spent his entire life being selfish and taking what he wants from me and my mother, and while he does work and he certainly had a hard time trying to raise me since our father left (especially considering he left when my brother was 13) he takes things way way too far. It's gotten to a point that we pretty much just let him get away with a lot of things because it feels like it makes our lives easier. I know it seems kind of cowardly but let me put it this way, he is a very violent, very strong man. And he is incredibly loud and he has this kind of presence that when arguing he can shut you down and make you feel like you're the bad guy. I feel like a horrible person for even making this thread but I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this. It's gotten fucking ridiculous, even small things like today he put my xbox in his room but I know that if I told him he should at least ask he will do something, I'm not sure what but he has a really short temper. Hell he threw out my D&D character sheet because he says I should grow up and be like him, and when I argued with him he started guilt tripping me over all the work he does, and then he started smashing bottles. In fact the only reason I'm doing this thread is because this one got me thinking:

Of all the shit that people have done to make me want to kill myself he is the worst one. I have horrible dreams of him physically hurting me or my mum, and he drinks all the time so I don't know what he's capable of. Jesus I feel like an attention seeker but I still feel the need to post this. Yeah so my question is what's in the title, anyone had a fear of a sibling or someone who should be close to you?
