Hello Denim

Well let me begin by saying I appreciate how much thought you have obviously given my query. Now let me attempt to answer your "shit load" of questions.

1. My father used to rent out the basement of his house, when the last tennants left, I rented it ( same rent as last tennant) with my girlfriend until I was 27, and my brother was 8, I was like the uncle he never had, took him everywhere with me, theme parks, camping, the zoo etc. etc. My girlfriend and I then bought our first house, got married, and had two wonderful kids.

2. Relationship with my Dad, I love him, feel sorry for him the way he has to do what the women in the house dictate ( his wife and my brother's NANNY). His wife I like a lot more since I don't live there. Since I moved out I have not been invited to any of my younger brother and sister's birhdays, but I am expected to invite them to my kids parties.

3. I have been gainfully employed by the same company since I was 20 years old, no my Dad and his wife didn't help me with college , or send me to Europe, but they did help me with a downpayment on my first house.

4. I think I am going to have to change my alias, as Virgin is my actual last name.

5. My brother brags about his anti-social attitude, he dislikes all his aunts and uncles, grandparents and cousins, the cat is clearly a substitute for human contact, the cat is in effect the closest thing he has to a friend or lover .

6. As far as I know when he needs to talk to someone, he complains to his parents or Nanny, who usually fix the problem for him, or literally take him out to an all you can eat Buffet. He is a briight kid but uses a condescending attitude as a defence mechanism to push people away.

7. When I was his age, I had my girlfriend, cousins and a multitude of friends to talk too, and still do, though the girlfriend is now my wife.

8. Coddling him hasn't seemed to work. The real world is tactless and unfair. For years I have tried to get my Dad, to do something about the kid's weight. Allowing a kid to become morbidly obese is truly child abuse. Catboy need's too stand on his own feet. He is literally killing himself, at 22 he has high blood pressure! and has dislocated his knees, stepping up on curbs. He has broken the seat in his car, because of his weight.
They are literally killing him with kindness, he is an adult now, and they no longer have the ability to modify his diet, but they can sure as hell stop, buying the foods that contribute to his likely to be short life.

9. As for me, I have had a 24 year relationship with my wife, two beautiful daughters, I have held the same job for 21 years. I have live in an upper class neighbourhood and have several nice cars. What I am trying to say is that I don't want for much, and other than his youth, I don't envy my brother anything. I am fine with blunt questions, saves a lot of time, quite a few of my friends over the years, have said one of the things they like about me, is that they always know where we stand with each other. Denim , i have done my best to answer your questions and I hope, that you can see, that my motivation for taunting my brother, was to maybe kick start him into having a real life. Wouldn't it be nice if he met a girl, had the experience of having a lover/friend, felt the satisfaction one gets from accomplishing something/anything. He has returned home to his bedroom, last decorated when he was 6 years old, {he won't let anybody redecorate it} Sitting in front of his computer with his cat. He will be dead, by the time he is as old as me, and that truly is a shame.
