My brother is 22 and I’m 20. He is severely autistic so I’ve been the “older brother” for my entire life. I honestly don’t even know why my parents had me when they already had a burden as big as him.

I mean they constantly forgot about me in favor of him. I remember many times where I’d have to walk home because he had a meltdown midway through the day and they needed to come get him, and they’d forget me. They rarely took the minute to just listen to me speak because they were always so preoccupied with him. I was left to my own devices far too much as a kid.

Because of him I lost any chance to be a normal person. My parents were always so busy with him that I never got the chance to do anything. If I wasted to go somewhere he works have to go with me as it was just easier for my parents to keep us together. I never got to play sports, I never had any friends because no one wanted to around my brother, I never got to just be a normal kid.

I was essentially a parent after age 10 to this perpetual child who would never be able to survive on his own. He isn’t capable of speech of more than a few small words, he gets over stimulated very easy, has daily meltdowns that result in him getting violent and dangerous to himself. He’ll never be able to live alone or just be by himself.

It was never explicitly said but I guess my parents always thought I would take care of him eventually. My dad recently passed away and now it’s just my mom and him. She can’t handle him all by herself and expects me to move home and continue school online.

I cannot do this. I cannot let this autistic a$$hole have the rest of my life. I hate him with every fiber of my being. I don’t care that he’s my brother, I don’t care if he loves me, I hate him. He took away the first 18 years of my life. I won’t let him have the next 60. I can’t give up my life for him. I wish he was dead.

The feelings are valid and something parents need to consider when they have other children. Adultified children take on a lot and it can be not pretty but correctable at some point hopefully.

Hate is not an acceptable word or the dead die shyt. Therapy and an honest convo with parents once he’s done ranting.

I’m sure many people with mentally challenged siblings feel this way but it’s taboo to be honest about it.

plus, his anger is misdirected. He should be mad at his parents, not his brother. They clearly handled this badly.

I've known a few autistic people who were functioning but were "off". One of them comes to mind in high school who was just a straight a$$hole to people and would react violently when angry.

I wouldn't say he deserves to die but I can't imagine living with a brother who acted like this dude every day for my whole life.:whew: Imagine someone with no sense of what is socially acceptable on a very basic level and then mix that with just a shytty attitude and being quick to anger. This dude would let out big ass farts in the middle of class lol and wouldn't bother to say excuse me. I remember he said to the teacher "Why don't you shut the hell up" when she tried to correct him on something :mjlol:

Dude is too bytchmade to tell his mom all this so he decides to tell reddit instead. All he gotta do is live his life and let his mom handle the brother if he feels that strongly about his brother. Why wish death on him? Cause he's a bytch, that's why. And even if his brother was dead, he would be bytching about something else. Cause that's what hoes do.

People that aint in that persons shoes and saying what they feel is invalid aint shyt. I can only imagine what it would be like to have your entire life focus around that situation and you basically have no life and your parents basically had you as a third parent.
it's soft


i grew up with a parent with a severe drug problem, i didn't ever wish death on them.

an autistic brother can help themselves even less.

i was basically my own parent a lot of days, gen z (again if this is real) is sick.
