My Luverly luverly brother (s)
If I sneak this one in quickly I can get the free therapy, and no one'll notice it..may contain lack of funny..

I'm the eldest, I am also the only girl and I've never been that interested in sports that you take part in, only watching. My middle brother has always been the golden child. Totally spoilt by my Mum, possibly because he reminds her of her family (all tall,blond, sporty, high achieving) as opposed to my Dad's lot (short,sporty,swarthy and fertile!) We all three have the same parents though, we just don't look like it..

Now that all three of us are in our early forties, it finally comes out that the middle bro made the little one's life a misery. Really? I just don't get where my Mum has been for the last forty years? He made mine one as well.. He used to hit, kick, slap, insult and punch my little brother on an hourly basis. He used to do the same to me, until I absented myself from the whole situation at 13, when I hormonally lost the place with him, and chased him with a kitchen knife.

What got me then, and still does is that they both side against me, not physically any longer, but at family parties, even now, they just generally insult, belittle and pick on me verbally. I don't pay much attention any more, I even get the odd hit in myself, usually along the "you're not still bothered about that?" line..This slows him down a bit, at least for a year or so. I don't mind the stuff from my middle brother, I just don't get why my little brother sides with him. Even now, and they both refuse to speak to my Dad after he left my Mum 14 years ago. Middle one just tells little one to jump, and he asks "How High?"

Mind you, he still doesn't know that my Dad met his daughter last year, and that my Mum took her to meet him!

Happy New year, and thanks for reading...
