Well I'm four years older than my brother, so when I started college he was 14 and only 16 by the time I left... it was always directed towards me during that period. I can't comment on how they are with him as I don't tend to go back but they did contact me a few years ago saying they were worried about him and asked for my help, wouldn't surprise me. They treat my sister like a princess though, she is younger than my brother. Makes no sense, I was even more placid then than I am now, I was a bit "different" in terms of music and what I was into but I don't see how that would matter. They were very much of the finish school and get a job mentality. My dad is more or less intolerable, hates everything. He'll sit at the tv watching coronation street being all "black bastard... puff" - he's a fucking moron. I wanted to go to college and uni, and they just wanted me to stay and provide them with more money essentially whilst treating me like shit.
I didn't really understand it then, I knew it wasn't normal but I used to be proper quiet and would never say anything. Looking back now I've realised a lot of things, I wish I could have been more confrontational!
