It's the tip of the iceberg My brother did something a few weeks ago that pushed me over the edge, and I told both my parents that after all we've been through for and with him, I wanted nothing to do with him until he turned his life around. I don't want to hear his name, I don't want to see him, I don't want to hear shit he does, he's basically dead to me. I can't be taken down that road again, it's been almost 5 years...I'm over it. Since my parents' separation, she's just gone after everything my dad has. She had my RESP frozen because she was paranoid about my dad hiding money from her, so I've had to pay all my school expenses out of pocket. She refuses to sell the family house (which she cannot maintain unemployed by herself) and had decided to take her alimony check to get lipo and a facelift.
