My older brother definitely hates me.
Today he addressed a letter to the whole family. Telling us our role in his anger and his potential accumulation of schizophrenia. He brought it his psychology textbook from school and everything. Told us to read it.
He said he's withdrawing himself from the family until we all apologise together.
And that wasn't going to happen.
I don't get on with my little brother. I could never stay in a room with him for longer than a couple hours.
He also proceeded to ignore me for a while week. He wouldn't speak to me. Wouldn't look at me. He just pretended I didn't exist.
And it just made me feel a whole lot more invisible than usual.
But my fake smile withheld. And I thank my lucky stars that it did.
Because if it didn't I'd be nothing but a bag of bones at the bottom of a coffin.
