Big brother is a douchebag
May. 30th, 2016 10:58 amIt went down like this:
Saturday we received word that our uncle is in the hospital, with unlikely chance of waking up. I offered to call Big Brother on account of him probably wanting to know these things.
1. After the news, he was most concerned about what reaction wpuld be appropriate given that he hadn't seen or spoken to them for over three years. He was suprised when I told him we visited them a couple of times and they visited us.
2. It soon escalated into him turning into a whiney version of himself, telling me he would be a hypocrit to show up for small talk if he still had big issues. I then asked what these issues were, he couldn't tell me. So my douchebag brother turned a conversation about a dying family member into a conversation all about him.
3. I mentioned that not showing up when we invited him was kind of odd, if he wanted to have more contact. He told me he doesn't want contact, he is doing it because I told him I missed him. Which he find highly suspicious and btw I suck at contacting him because I never come around or call him.
After this tiredsome phonecall I decided that the brother that I missed died twenty years ago. I don't recognize or like this paranoid, selfish and hurtful guy on the other side of the line. And if he doesn't want contact, why should I keep trying? I have a wonderful life without him. I don't need all this negativity bringing me down.
