Date: May 24th, 2018 9:19 PM Author: drab base He's always been jealous because my folks obviously prefer me over him...there's just always been bad blood because of that. We had a huge falling out 3 months ago and I decided I'd be better off with him out of my life.
Cut him off 3 months ago and it's the best decision I've made in years. |

Date: May 25th, 2018 11:12 AM Author: Pink filthpig I will go to the ends of the earth to stick up for, protect, help, guide, and be supportive to the tiny handful of human beings on this planet that are kin to me. What's mine is theirs, I will never ever abandon them or even speak ill of them in public, no matter what. And I certainly wouldn't even dream of cutting them out of my life simply because they haven't achieved as much as I had hoped they would. Siblings are the only people on this planet who have been with you from the beginning and will be with you until the end. Tossing that deep bond aside for something as trifling as underemployment or sub-par academic performance is a clear indication of a deeply broken person with perverse motivations. To answer your question, do I associate with bums? If my brother was a literal strung-out filthy junkie bum living on the streets I would do absolutely everything in my power to help him. I would never give up on him. I would set aside all of my personal ambitions and focus all of my energy on making him whole again, even if he cursed me and spit in my face. And, I know with absolute certainty he would do the same for me. This is because we are brothers, and that's the type of thing that brothers do for each other. You? |
|
Date: May 25th, 2018 11:27 AM Author: drab base Yea...I don't view things that way. Rather, I evaluate my associations on whether or not the person in question adds value to my life. If yes, I keep them around and work towards making the relationship even better. If not, I cut them loose. It's no different than being a GM of a pro team or running a business.
In this case, I've concluded I'm better off cutting all ties with my brother as he's not someone I'd associate with if we weren't related. The fact that he's a relative makes no difference to me: he adds no value to my life. |

She’s 34 years old and has been living with my parents the past 4 years. Never finished college. Has never worked at a job longer than 3 months. Has never paid rent, food, or own bills. She’s unable to navigate normal life annoyances because she never has more than $200 in her account. Getting a flat tire is a huge deal and she can’t drive anywhere, until she begs my Dad to take care of it for her. My parents have basically given up with her. She quit her most recent job and has been unemployed the past month. My parents are begging me to try to get her a job at my company. So she can make $12 hour in a warehouse, show up late everyday, and be fired after a month. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3985915&forum_id=2#36124594) |

There was a time my family sort of closed off to me, I was being a piece of shit and not putting any effort into having a relationship with them
