Sibling dynamics after loss
I (31f) and my brother (28m) lost both of our parents within 6 months. My mom rather suddenly experienced a mental health crisis that resulting in her death and then months later my dad died of natural causes. After loosing my mom my brother went to rehab and our relationship was really strong. He relapsed about a month after getting out then my dad died. My dad was the only person who knew my brother relapsed and after he died my brother lied for a while but eventually it was too obvious to hide. He’s back in rehab now but hes lashing out ob me, accusing me of not beliveing in him, bringing up wounds from our childhood and just being really rotten to me. I’ve always been the emotional punching bag for my family but my brother has never been so mean and hateful to me before. I’m posting because I’m feeling so terribly alone without my family. A year ago I had 3 people that loved me unconditionally and now I have no one. I feel so depressed knowing my brother doesn’t really care about my grief and process.
