If other people can't see them it's their problem, but as long as you know you shouldn't have any problems. Don't change yourself no matter how much they try to break you down. Hope this has helped you. =) [ friendlessiam's advice column | Ask friendlessiam A Question ]

Comfront your mother and your brother and even set up a conference to keep a constant realtion ship.
It's all about building solidarity.
coconutcatastrophe answered Wednesday April 18 2007, 6:43 pm: don't listen to them. if you ignore them and pretend that they didn't even say anything, then they'll stop. i know it's hard but don't care what people think about you. what matters the most is how you think of yourself. for your brother taking things from you just tell him to give it back nicely, if he doesn't then take something of his and tell him you really don't like it when he does that. i know this is really hard to do in a situation like this but just believe in yourself and don't let anyone bring you down, cause you're a special and unique person, you're yourself.
