Growing up, my youngest sibling had ODD that eventually progressed to conduct disorder, and I honestly often find myself wishing he was never born. I cant even begin to describe how hellish it was living with someone who’s actions only ever seemed to be motivated by a desire to hurt those around him as much as possible. From the moment he could walk, he was like this. What started as hitting, biting, and breaking other kids toys eventually progressed to increasingly extreme bullying, stealing, and vandalism, eventually developing into felony criminal activity (violent and nonviolent). Up until I moved out, I was always his favorite target, and when I finally got out he set his sights on my other brother. He put everyone through hell, almost tore apart our family, and I cant help but feel everyones life would be better had he just never been born. Can anyone else relate to this?

I was walking my dog a few hours ago, and when I turned a corner there was a lady walking a doodle coming in the opposite direction. She stopped when she saw me, and when I got closer her dog started to growl at mine and she pulled it off to the side on the road. I noticed she was scowling at me, and as I passed she told me “You know the respectful thing to do when you see another person with a dog coming is to cross the road”. I told her I shouldn’t have to because my dogs not aggressive, and she just said she was walking down the block first so I kinda rolled my eyes and walked away. She implied I was disrespectful (TA) for not crossing the street to avoid her dog when she was already part way down the block. AITA?
