Brotherly Love

LegacyUser · 2012-08-11 16:27:42

When I was a young lad, I had no friends that lived near me although I did have a brother who was older than me. He never brought me anywhere with his friends and sort of shunned me for most of my youth. I spent most of my pre-teen years in front of a computer, on and off the internet.

When I was a young lad, I had no friends that lived near me although I did have a brother who was older than me. He never brought me anywhere with his friends and sort of shunned me for most of my youth. I spent most of my pre-teen years in front of a computer, on and off the internet. As I got older, I was still left on my own by my brother but it didn't really matter as much to me as I had lots of "virtual" friends - irc, message boards etc.

When I was old enough to legally drink, he still never tried to include me in anything and in some cases tried to discourage me from going out on nights where he was out. What hurts most is that on those nights, in the group were lads I knew, my own age. I would hear about the "great craic" from them.

Now we are all a bit older and my brother's friends back then have all moved on as people do at a certain age. Now he is trying to get me to head out with him to the pub and so on and to be honest, I don't want to and it's getting a bit annoying. I don't really want anything to do with him but we are family so I suppose I have to...should I move on and act like an adult? Or should I stay angry with him for being a dickhead when I needed a brother?
