Hello!
I'm new here, so I apologize if this is not the place to write this.
As the title states, my 11 years old brother won't leave us alone. He either plays with the computer and the PS2 or nags me to play with him. He is clumsy and aggressive. I tell him that he can play for an hour and he starts to beg to let him play a bit more. My mother and I usually let him and when we tell him to save the game shut it down, he just won't do it....He keeps playing and I have to threaten him that I will unplug the easy child or PS2 and all his saves will be lost. Usually that is when he gets really mean and aggressive. He talks back and sometimes hits too
He doesn't like to read, to draw or anything really. When he was younger I taught him many things, because I was living at home. But now I don't have the time or the patience. I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorder 4 years ago while in middle school. I crumbled in on myself, didn't talk much, wanted to sleep all day, etc. To years after I was diagnosed, my parents sent me to a different town to study. I was rarely at home. And now 2 months ago I finished my education and moved back in. Everything just got worse. I get really angry or depressed for no reason.... And my family won't understand this. They say I'm only over exaggerating and nothing is wrong. They pressure me to play with my brother and look for a job and help around the house and .....with everything really. And when they get bored with my brother constant nagging, they send him to me and yell at me if I don't play with him for like an hour. And still that is not enough. They tell me that my brother is scared of me and I don't even know why..?
A few weeks ago I caught my brother watching porn on the internet and I told my mother, because I didn't know how to deal with the situation and she basically yelled my head off. She told me that it wouldn't have happened if I didn't show him games on the internet. I was speechless. Next day she told my brother that she saw his internet history and if he doesn't stop watching porn, the police will come and take him...I don't think that was the best solution. But whatever......
I realise I blabbed too much and I apologise, but I simply don't know what to do anymore.
