am i wrong?

[Lithium]

basically
my dad used to hit on me..he was emotionally abusive, too..growing up, he was an alcoholic and he drank constantly. he still drinks and goes into his rampages...

my brother used to hit on me all the time.. my mom wasnt around to do much until i was 12..and by then i was running the streets all the time and my dad ended up throwing me out of the house. my mom was gone because she had to work..so i dont resent her at all.

me and my brother arent really brothers anymore. yea, we have the same parents but we dont claim each other. its not right..but i stopped claiming him after i found out that he stopped claiming me..etc etc etc

to get to the point, am i wrong for resenting my dad and my brother?

i don't think you are wrong to be angry with your dad and your brother...but i think that at some time, and it could be years from now, you should try to make things right with them.

maybe if you are feeling bad about the whole thing (and you might not be, i'm just saying) you could try talking to them again and see of things can't get better. it wouldn't hurt anyway.

god luck!!

No, there is nothing wrong with resenting them. The wounds have healed, but that doesn't mean that the emotional hurt caused by them has also healed.

No, I wouldn't say it was wrong.

Try confronting them (at a sober time)

Life is hard, simply do what is right to you, and knowing you David I am quite sure you would do the right thing overall

[northskater110]

no, they harmed you, and you have every right to dispise them

[twilight_exeption]

its not wrong to hate them, they abused you. i know what its like to have a brother abuse you, and i dont blame you for hating him and as for your dad... i cant possibly imagine... try and sort things out with them and if it really gets you down see a counciler (i hope that didnt come out wrong)

After what they have done to you I think there is nothing wrong with hating/resenting them especailly when they are physically abusive. However hating your own brother is pretty sad and I think it would be a good idea for you to get in contact with him and arrange to go have a coffee or a bear or something just to make ammends.

You know i am in quite same situation but with little variation.
My dad is always away and doesn't know what's going on in our house. He always just supports mom and believes everything what he ever may hear from her mouth.

So mom hits me all the time and my older sis. We are not friends with sis, never had been. Now she lives in London, sometimes is here. like now :|..
We don't care about each other, it's bad actually yea i know. We are sisters yea, but to be honest :|, i don't feel anything for her, i don't care. Like really don't.

So i am still feeling sorry about my mom etc, i am with very short angryness or my parents, i can't be angry. Whatever they jell me, beat.. i still love them and i am trying to get any conversation later.. i am trying to find any relationship with my mom but she never listens, just shouts sth back or asks me to take my things and go away, usually it ends with fights and tears. It hurts.. i know what you felt/feel.

Lately i have gave up with hope and just waiting for autumn now when i'll go to study on in capital and live with any friend without my famaily.

So i wish you so much strength and believing in yourself.. and in my opinion, you should talk to your dad. I mean of course maybe it's not good and very compfy and so.. but at least you have tried then. You won't have this feeling anymore, that are you right. Then you can make things clear for you.

But if it again ends, like it was used to..
And if you have reason, why to be in this way now, then be. Don't regret, if they don't.

(sorry, if i said sth cruel :S )
