Brothers.....

[LiquidMetal91]

Its chrismas eve, and we are watchin cliche movies.. After a little while i get bored and see summin of interest. Appareantly it proves to be the chain from his wallet. In my curiosity i pull the chain. He freaks out and hits me with a pillow, as if i was planning to break the thing.
I hit him back with the pillow (only natural), and my mom asks why.
A little argument follows, and he states: "Wel, ill go to my room than, cause no one listnes to me anyways!" This is a lucid state, for he doesn't have the ability to pick up things fast (childhood trauma related)

Movie on pause, mom tries to get him to go downstairs. Stubborn that he is, he gets himself into another arguement. She sais he is to remove and bring down the cable from his DVD player (doesnt own a console/pc) and he yells that he wont do it. Then my mom walks into the livingroom and starts crying. Im in the kitchen, doing the dishes. Not agreeing to how he reacted to her. Im never angry, litteraly, but that moment i lost my cool and grabbed his shirt. I told him that he made her cry and that is not how to treat your mother. My mom hears my raised voice, knowing i never get angry and to be honest, she was scared i had already punched him. She made me let go of him, and to release my anger a little i made the wall take the punch. Now my hand has been busted up for 3 weeks, but it is almost near the normal state (still hurts when i make a fist though).

What do you think. Did i handle the situation well, or did i overreact?

:x

i'd say that both you & your brother need to work on controlling your anger! especially your brother, since he overreacted in the 1st place ...

ever consider starting to take classes in peaceful martial arts, such as Aikido? It teaches you to control your rage, and to focus your energy into being controlled and expelled only in simple, fluid movements, designed to suppress & take down people in acts of self-defense.

there are a lot of classes out there for things like that, and i've known a lot of people who have been REALLY HELPED by the self-control and discipline they learn from these sorts of things.

 

[LiquidMetal91]

First things first, im the kind of calm guy that never gets angry. Ever.
This is the first time i got really angry and it will be one of the very few in my lifetime (i hope)

Second, i cant take martial art classes..
I've only got one kidney, didn't function when i was a baby, so i cant do those kind of sports.
This cause it will give the risque of getting a jab in the only kidney i've got, hence having to live of a machine..

Third, the tension between him and my mom (and the rest of us) has been going on for 3+ years now, and it is reaching its top. He is in-route for serious medical attention for his condition (childhood trauma's, dad's fault).

But still, thanks Ven. Though it is true that he probably would gain lots from those kind of sports, he's to much of a wuss to actually start doing them. And there aren't many facilities around here, closest one is more than an hour cycling from our house .-.

I never had a serious bout with any of my siblings. Mind you, I'm the youngest of three children, so some things are likely different. I think your brother seriously overreacted if you were just messing with his wallet chain. It's not like you were trying to be discreet and it's not like you could have went anywhere with it.

I'm skeptical of psychological problems a lot of the time. I don't know much about the effects of childhood trauma, but it sounds a lot like your brother was being a brat on his own. It's not like he is mentally retarded, right?

Also, you punched a wall and your hand's been busted up for three weeks? You must heal slowly then (or the wall had deathspikes).

 

[BlueScope]

You don't seriously expect anyone to say that smashing your hand at a wall was the right thing to do now, do you?

 

[Jason]

Yeah I agree with Blue, it seems as if you're wanting us to say you did the right thing, I mean, personally I think anyone who punches a wall is an idiot... then again me and my brothers are hostile a good portion of the time and there's a fuck ton of fighting going off in my house between the four of us... it's pretty fun really, lol.

If he hit a stud (not a hot dude, but rather a solid wooden 2x4/2x6/2x8), then yeah, it would've likely broken a bunch of things up in that hand.

 

[moog]

arent you like 30

 

[LiquidMetal91]

Nope, 20 brah

@Ven, i hit a corner piece of a reinforced concrete wall.
Some scrapes and a bruised hand is all i had, but it hasn't fully healed yet .-.

 

[moog]

I was kidding

 

[LiquidMetal91]

I know :heart:

 

[tysonrss]

Mother Gloria, when will you die already?

 

[Ellie]

We're waiting for a suitable skapegoat / the right moment to take a shot.

 

[tysonrss]

What does that mean?

 

[moog]

in about 5 minutes

 

[tysonrss]

It's been 5 minutes.

Still breathing? Goddamn it, Mother Gloria is hard to get rid of.

 

[moog]

im waiting for my vaccine, after that i should be dead

 

[tysonrss]

Shouldn't have to wait long. Get the H1N1 vaccine and you'd be good as dead
