why does bro have a therapist

#

anyways yes talk to your parents, being pampered like this will do nothing but make his future miserable and unnecessarily difficult

and tell her that this is just a waste of her money

#

cause in the end, he can choose to listen or ignore what they taught him

#

its not about the parents' effort in the end, its what the child chooses to do

pseudo vector
#

yes

somber hearth
#

id say, try talking to your brother first

pseudo vector
#

somber hearth
#

#

luck

#

try to find out what he plans to do

#

tell him to try to live by himself

pseudo vector
#

exactly

somber hearth
#

get his opinion, and then talk to your parents about it

pseudo vector
#

i'll try

#

tho at least having my parents question their doings is enough on my end

follow the societical norm
this is different in every place, there is no generalized norm, and people look down on following the crowd too

i remember what my current therapist told me:
"the eldest is usually the "experiment" for a parent"

#

maybe she saw thru her mistakes of abusing me but does a more subtle form of it on ny brother

somber hearth
#

that isnt really wrong 😭

somber hearth
#

yeah since eldest child is usually their first shot at parenting, unless they've ever been a babysitter or something

pseudo vector
#

yup

somber hearth
#

they tend to change their method on the younger children

pseudo vector
#

true

somber hearth
#

well yeah i've said all I can say with certainty, good luck trying to talk to your parents about it man
