IS it right for my brothers to act as my parents?

Question

I live with my brothers after my dad died and recently my mum has went off with her husband who used to abuse me.

I have 4 bros all older than me the oldest being 26 and youngest 16, we all live together but sometimes i hate it.

Alec and Mike the two oldest are really strict and Henry the youngest is very over protective (Part of his asbergers syndrome)

I never thought theyd ever touch me but a few weeks ago me, Alec, And craig had a big argument. I told thenm i thought they could never take the place of Dad and they should stop trying and i hate it. Alec slapped me round my face and Im also grounded. A few days after i was arguing with Mike when he smacked me.

They've started doing it recently (Never for No reason) I dont know what to do and should they be acting like my Parents? Its driving me mad

Answer 1

I've got an older brother called Mike lol.

He disciplines me more then my parents do.

There's been times when I've annoyed him, but he's never gone as far hitting me. He's an amateur boxer so he's got a lot of self control.

My parents think he's sensible and apparently I listen to him more then I do them so they let him make decisions for me etc.

I don't always show him the respect and appreciation he deserves, but I am grateful for the way he treats me. He's taught me a lot in life.

So yeah, your brothers should be acting like your parents.

Answer 2

Well it sounds like they're trying there best but it will be stressful for them, you should appreciate the fact that they are trying to look after you. as for the slapping, thats unnecesary, talke to the oldest brother about it but try not to turn it into a argument.

Good luck x

Answer 3

Yes, they should be acting like your parents. They are your legal guardians, now that your parents are gone. So yes, they should..

Answer 4

I'm sorry i wish i could help
