Fighting each other again and again, which I don’t hate them for — but it is very stressful. They could accomplish so much more if they would cooperate with each other…

Lol my mom thought by having me that her first son (aka: my older brother) wouldn't be alone and would have a everlasting friend.

I haven't really talked to my older brother for over 5 years despite living under the same roof. Lol

Sorry to disappoint you, mom, maybe tell brother to stop abusing me and apologize for the past abuse.
