dude, there's two quick things i see in what you wrote, that i don't agree with. hard to say anything to this, because you have so much going on. first thing you said your brother is both *not the sharpest* and a *moron*. granted, i have no clue how your family deals with each other, but one day, you may hate that you referred to him like that. juss sayin. the second thing is that you said you don't owe your family anything - i respectfully disagree with this. you owe them everything you can give them short of going down with the ship. we don't get to pick our family and we only get the one.
it is a very tough predicament to be in and i've been doing it since i was 12 or 13. now, i'm past the judgment and blaming and just realize, i can't change an adult's mind or habits, no matter how much i try. so i just take it for what it is and learned to let the ill feelings roll off my back when i hang up the phone or walk out their door. the love stays with me tho and i can remember what the love felt like years ago before all this shit, so that's enough for me.
