    I honestly thought I deserved everything I got for years. I let so many people outside my family treat me however they liked because I thought nothing of myself. When I started drinking I drank heavily and did drugs for a 2 year period or more. I drank to forget and be "happy" which in the long run didn't work out. Thank you :)

    You poor thing. I hope you got the help you deserved and the future makes up for the past. :)

    I didn't get counselling for it all but I have found happiness with someone who has given me a future to look forward to. I can't go back and make it ok though.

    Nothing will make it okay, but now that you're in a good place it might be the time to get some counselling. Your gp can help you find the right services. You should consider it, it's an investment in the future happiness that you deserve and have a right to.

    Have a happy Xmas KKkitty, and I hope the future is everything you'd hope for and more. :)

    Some of my older brothers used to beat me up for no real reason. One did something he shouldn't. No wonder I was messed up for years.

    Man thats awful Kitty. I hope they apologised or tried to be better then or after.


    edit - my sisters never hit me really, and my brothers are all older, so they were off to the army while I was still young, but my dad used to kick the 7 bells out of me, sometimes cos I was 'naughty' sometimes cos he was drunk/ a bit mental, but he never hit the girls, and they knew that, so instead of hitting me they'd do something like saying 'dad, matt took something from my room' or 'matt called me a bitch' and then he'd make me sorry for something I never even did.


    And that is why I will never have a good relationship with 12 of the 13 of them. And the 13th is only cos she's the youngest and wasn't involved in anything like that, and is actually very sweet.

    My youngest brother was like that with our mother. You only had to look at him funny and he'd go crying to her and we'd get a slap. My other brother and I, with inspired foresight decided f*ck it, if were going to get in trouble for nothing, lets get in trouble for something. We beat that sh!t out of him in about 6 weeks once he seen we were getting no more punished for actually doing it.

    I think as a result of what I went through growing up I blocked out a section of my childhood. It's almost like I'm scared to remember certain parts of my childhood in case I find something I did to deserve what happened to me. Not one of them have apologised. My oldest brother was going through a rough time recently and he thought it was because of what way he was to certain younger siblings growing up. I tried to think it wasn't the case but at the back of my mind I couldn't help but think he somewhat deserved it.

    Its really horrible to have your childhood tainted like that.

    And I think thats karma :P

    They once came into me crazy early in the morning when I was super young, woke me up, and told me that it's Christmas, that I've been in a coma for months, and that they'd really like to open their presents, thank you very much.

    It was the middle of the summer.

    I laughed really hard at this I'm sorry :-) I don't have any siblings, it's completely fine and I had a great childhood but it's crazy to think I will never experience something millions of people have!

    I think you were lucky overall. Siblings can be right dicks.

    I broke my sisters nose after I fell backwards off a swing onto her. I was sitting on her lap, we both fell and....blood everywhere. Not on purpose though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,667 ✭✭✭Frynge


    What for real?

    Yep sliced trough the ear and off below the lob. 21 years ago so there was no camera phones out taking picture. It didn't hurt at all, probably because I went into shock.

    2 operations later and you can barely see the scare and I can hear no problem.

    Also it was an accident, my bro ain't no homicidal maniac.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,241 ✭✭✭✭Kovu


    Broke my brothers nose, not on purpose, I pushed him over and he was in a sleeping bag and couldn't get his hands in front of him to break the fall.
    Pushed him into a lake.
    Locked him into a shed for an hour.
    Spooked a cow to run over him.
    Poured a tin of custard over him, followed by a few litres of milk.

    Funnily enough we actually get on great, he gave as good as he got!

    They can also be the best friends you will ever have.

    I'm not the best at getting on with females. I have a few close female friends but my sisters are the only ones I can properly fight with and still be the best of friends 10 minutes later.

    Sorry your siblings were sh*t, I really couldn't imagine my life without my sisters, I love them soooo much.

    I envy only children sometimes. Siblings can be like an albatross around the neck.

    When somebody starts a 'worst thing you have done to your kids' thread, this can be my post.

    Me too. When my kids can tell the time j will be doing it..

    Just thought of another one.

    I don't know if it was my siblings or my parents, but they told me that my bellybutton was the screw that held my arse in place. As it turned out-- they lied and it hurt like hell finding out.

    I may have been slightly gullible as a kid.

    Kids are gulible. We convinced our youngest sister, when she was about 5 that her sunburnt skin peeling was her scales appearing because we had found her as an egg in the zoo and she was actually a dinosour and that this was what happened to dinosours and we had to return her to her kind as she was getting scales. She believed us for ages

    My sister became my best friend, regardless of a big age gap.

    I do know some sisters who are engaged in constant psychological warfare with each other, when it goes wrong it seems to reach levels of hostility that are hard to fathom. Sibling rivalry has a lot to answer for, parents should be very careful how the deal with it. It's a powerful thing.

    Not so much as done to me but my family

    Around 10yrs ago when my grandparents were alive she used to take my grandad to the hospital to see my Nan, telling him she'd be back in an hour, in that hour she took his card and went to the ATM withdrawing the max of 600stg, done this for 10 days, she stole a cheque off him, forged it and cashed it for 2 grand.

    Stole a cheque from my parents, forged that for 3grand and cashed it

    They let her off as said she's learned her lesson and wouldn't do it again

    She was married to a great guy who owned a pub, she forged bank statements and fleeced him for 15grand, he let her off for the sake of her kids

    She was working as a care assistant for a blind guy, live in 3 days a week, fleeced him for 4 grand, his parents let her off as he liked her so much and it'd hurt him

    I've not spoken to her for 8yrs now and only want to hear about her now when she's in the ground

    Oh, she was arrested last week with her bf, possesion of a firearm and quite a bit of coke, guess she won't be let off wit that one :D:D

    When I lived with my brother, he arrived home one day with no car. It was in the garage being serviced he said. A while later he asked if he could borrow my car, he had an appointment he needed to go to.
    A couple hours later, in he drives. In his own car.
    Where's my car? I ask
    "I left it in town, you'll have to go in and collect it".

    i was snapping. The cheek of him. Taking my car in, and abandoning it to bring his own home. I had work the next day. So did he. He wouldn't bring me to collect my car, so I waited til he went to bed, drove his car in, brought mine home and left his parked in front of where he left mine.

    That taught him not to be such a dick when asking for favours.
    Funny. Your brothers post in this thread could be exactly the same story, from his POV!

    :)

    In our house it's a constant state of one up man ship. We kill each other, like flat out murder each other. We couldn't walk past each other without a sneaky dig with the elbow or an attempt to trip the other up but we are really close in that, we can only fight with each other, nobody else can be mean to us.

    At home, you can drive around the house and out so that even if someone parked behind you, you could drive around the house and out the drive rather than having to get the car behind to move. There's ample parking. Side of the house. Behind house. Front of house. Outside the gate just off the road. There is plenty of room for 3 cars. Anyway, he started staying out all night long, would crawl the car into the drive, the only place to park where you could block everyone else.
    I'd get up, get ready for work, have to go looking for his car keys to move his car because he wouldn't get up to move it.
    Every single evening I'd tell him, my dad would tell him, don't park in the drive you're blocking people in. Park properly.
    Every morning without fail, he'd have me blocked in.

    So, this morning I got myself up extra early. Sure enough, I'm blocked in. Off I go looking for his keys, find them, and I moved his car. This time, I moved it good and proper. Off in a lovely secluded area, locked it up, had to walk home and get ready for work.

    Funny how after he spent a day looking for his car he wasn't as quick to park like a bollocks after that. There's only one way to deal with some people.

    My sister is in Vegas now and has been offered to stay working illegally


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 414 ✭✭kettlehead


    I really don't want her to work illegly


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,344 ✭✭✭Diamond Doll


    Surely that's her own business ... hardly the worst thing she's done to you?

    My brother exists by the grace of the sibling rivalry between me and my sister. There's just under two years between us so right when I was a sociopathic possessive toddler, along comes baby to steal the spotlight. It was WAR for the next few years and they deliberately had my brother (he's the only one of us who was planned) to even things out a bit.

    It all worked out though, wouldn't swap the bond I have with them for anything. My sister, her friend and I were sitting around last week and she went 'let's watch that thing of the yoke with the boopeedoop sexy Christmas song' and I straight away knew the episode of Community she was on about, the friend was a bit nonplussed!

    I hope you tell your brother, at every opportunity, that the only reason he was born was to be a human buffer zone.

    My sister and myself were like that, she'd often say something I was thinking, or vice versa. We were always very alike in how we'd think or analyse something.

    They were talking about this on the radio and it got me thinking. What is THE worst thing one of your siblings has done to you?

    For me, it would have to be the time I went on holidays with my sisters. I had just got into the shower after a night out on the tear. Awwhhh yeah, hot water, chilling, just washing my bits and next thing my sister starts roaring at the door. B*tch needs to pee. I had just put the fudging shampoo in my hair!! :mad: Did I ask both of them did they need to use the toilet before I went for a shower? Yes I did!!

    I was going to ignore her but she said she needed to go really badly, so I let her in and hopped back into the shower. I thought she needed to wee!! No, she does a big durrty poo and has a good laugh while doing it!! The bathroom was tiny and the window was broken!! We couldn't open it!! She dutch sauna-ed me!! The bathroom was all steamy too and the steam was doing a good job at transporting her fumes around the place. I was probably washing my hair with her sh*t particles. :( She had a good laugh at me. I thought I was going to die of suffocation.

    Little fcuker. :mad: Traumatised.

    People are coonts.
