Oh, this thread reminds me how much I hate my brother. I've had to put up with the jerk ever since I was born (And alot of times, he makes me wish I was never born). He has always hit me, punch me, kick me, any type of physical violence to me. He always calls me names that REALLY hurt me. He killed my hamster when I was 9 because I told him he couldn't borrow any more money from me. He always steals my stuff. And he is always a perfect angel to my mom so she never believes me. So much goes on behind her back and she doesn't even realize it. My dad can't do anything about it because he is his stepdad (And he is only my half brother), so he is too scared to do anything about it. Hopefully he'll be moving soon. He is 23 and still lives in our basement. It's let up a bit over the past 2 years, he has been home alot less, which has made my life like 10 times easier without him to harrass me every fricken minute.
