Good news, bad news.
Good news: My mom apologized to me. Entirely in context and appropriately. Which is kind of wow. That's a surprising amount of insight coming from her after all this time. Credit where it is due. I very much appreciate it. Hope it's a trend.
Bad news: It took all of just under 24 hours for my brother to behave inappropriately ragefully towards me. Whatever treatment he's getting ain't worked yet, yo. We're done. My parents are sad but understand, and I'm tired of making excuses for adults who can't adult. Not my job. Plus, it's never ok to treat people that way. I hope his treatment works; I hope he sticks with it, but I'm out. Lots of people have problems, but if you get to a place where you have to choose between your health and safety and someone else's health or need for support or whatever? No. Just, no.
Meanwhile, he will be here until some time on Friday, away, back again Tuesday through Tuesday, gone, then back again for some amount of time until October 13. I really did think that one week would not be an insurmountable obstacle, but he's so bad at this point that one day was too much for him. I'm not sure exactly what I am going to do, because I am sure as heck not hiding in my room in my home, and I can't just move away for a month. Maybe I'll move to Starbucks like my sister suggested. I could do worse.
