Lately I don’t have the energy or desire to communicate with my own brother. And all because we have different views on life. He believes that it is not necessary to help my relatives, no matter how difficult their condition is.
And all the fighting was because we had a mother and a grandmother. My grandmother had a stroke a couple of years ago, and as a result, she is completely paralyzed. Mom is of working age, but who will she leave to sit with her grandmother. That’s why she does not work. I also live with them. I am the only one who goes to work, and in fact I myself support three people – and I still have to pay the rent.
I can’t leave them, because they are my family. And I remember how my mother and grandparents tried to raise me and my brother when my father abandoned us. They gave us everything they could. Yes, there were different moments, sometimes we ate only potatoes and bread, but that was not the fault of my mother or grandparents, but of our father, who did not care about us.
My brother, on the other hand, says that my mother could have given us a much better life. And since she didn’t give it to us, let her not demand anything now. So she doesn’t demand anything. But just imagine – my brother and his wife have three apartments, which they rent out, and also work. They come to our house again and again, telling us how well they are doing, and they didn’t even give a grandmother thousands for medicine.
My brother says about my grandmother that she should be taken to an old people’s home and not have to suffer. But how can we give her there, especially since the conditions there are terrible in our area.
What’s interesting is that my brother is also openly saying that he is waiting for my mother and grandmother to be gone, and we will share the apartment between them. Allegedly he has children and wants to give them all the things Mom didn’t give us. The main thing for him is to be a great spouse and father, but not a son or grandson.
