Hi, for the past 2 weeks my brother has been in the worst mood ever. He is 10 years older than me and my mom and I live with him. He has yelled at me and yelled at me and yelled at me and busted my chops every chance he got for the past 2 weeks. Usually he comes home after I got to bed from teaching Tai Chi, which should make you clam. But last night he started yelling at me for not knowing the exact address of my firends birthday party spot that is not until tonight, when we have the invitation on the fridge. I told him I did not remember, all I could remember was it was at the Imperial Hotel. My mom tried to get him to stop, but he kept at it. Then I asked him for an opinion on something and he growled at me that I need my own opinions and I should think for myself, which I do. Since when did opinions mean you were not an independent thinker? I just value his opinion a lot because I look up to him. My dad is not in my life and I think he has this feeling that he has to be my dad, but he doesn’t. He has to be my brother, but he is starting not to act like it. How can I tell him that I don’t appriciate the way he is treating me without being rude or appearing rude? Also what can I do if he keeps doing this? Thanks!
