Had a awful day. Me and my brother had a horrible and I mean horrible political fight. I tried to diffuse the situation as it was getting really heated. I didn’t have enough knowledge on something he wanted me to state that the Dems fucked up on. So I said I can’t say one way or the other as I don’t know enough. Well he didn’t like that answer and screamed and screamed.
And I also screamed back but I was screaming to stop all this as my nephew was in car and so was my friend and I just wants the situation to stop. He wouldn’t.
Then my friend(she is here to help me recover from some surgery) thought it would be funny to get her husband on FT and told me “I am glad to hear you’re feeling better and let’s make America great again”. Which emboldened my brother even more and he was DEMANDING I answer his question like a real bully.
So my defense mechanism kicked in and I slammed my phone down on his car console (1 yr old car) screaming to stop this now not I. Front of my nephew AND raised his hand like he was about to punch me in the face. Told me he hates me and had always hated me and threatened to drop me off 25 min away from my house. Mind you I had surgery on Thursday.
I’m beyond upset can’t stop crying and I can never forgive him for this. I knew he always hated me. We never got along when we were younger. And it came out. Then when he tried to hit me I saw a different side of him. He was driving erratic and I just wanted to get home and away from him.
I just lost a brother and I don’t know why it hurts so bad because I don’t really like him all that much either.
Sorry just need to vent so I can get the hurt out
@Patti1120 I’m sorry to hear that you had an awful day and a terrible argument with your brother. 😞 ❤️ Sending you BIG virtual hugs 🫂

@Patti1120 I only have two siblings left alive. I am estranged from both of them. In both cases they drank deeply from the MAGA koolaid. I get your pain but I remember something my niece said at a young age for such wisdom. "Family isn't blood its who has your back when you need it."
Now your free to find that real family.
@Patti1120 Sorry for your situation. Keep in mind that it is him that has lost a sister in many ways. We have free will to choose our friends but are born into a family. Is blood really thicker than water given such circumstances and relationships?
@Patti1120 i'm sorry for your loss. i don't understand it either. i lost my mom and brother to racism and bigotry in 2004 after we adopted from China a second time. lost most of the rest of the family during the 2008 election.
I can’t even smoke
because of surgery. I did earlier as I needed to calm down and almost passed out when I walked back into my house.
