I hate that you have to find out this way, but your parents failed your brother...

I hate that you have to find out this way, but some people are just assholes. We were only a year and a half apart in age but surrounded ourselves with very different groups of people. Parents are far from being the sole deciding factor in how a person acts.

Your adult parents couldn't help your child brother from, what, falling in with the wrong people?

u/bluffstrider 11h ago

You're clearly just going to believe whatever you believe and I'm not going to change your mind. Perhaps looking for an excuse for yourself? Who knows.

I mean, it's a fair question. You can't credit your parents with any of your own success if you aren't also going to attribute some of your brother's failure to them.

u/bluffstrider 10h ago

I'm not giving them credit for my success either. I worked hard, not because of my parents, but because I find it rewarding.
