It’s about respect in today’s random question. It asks…

Who has completely lost your respect?

One person, who completely lost my respect, is my mother’s son [my so-called brother]. He has been rude and disrespectful towards my parents for as far back, as I am able to remember. He is a narcissistic, manipulative and aggressive jerk, to put it bluntly. So long as you serve a purpose to his needs or benefit he will be nice to your face and ignore you completely otherwise. If you dare to disagree with him or don’t do what he wants, you get screamed at first, then punished afterwards with the silent treatment and distance. Not to mention that he hates my guts [without being able to give a plausible reason] and disowned me several times in front of family, longtime friends and relatives. Screw those family ties. That bond is not a free pass to treat your parents and other members of the household // family like crap. I’m done with his behavior, especially towards my mom. Let him hate // disown me, if it makes him happy. I lost my brother three decades ago. And after years of trying to reconnect with him, it’s time to call it quits for good.
