I explained that my bad brother really hurt me last time I texted fought with him before he went overseas and he comes back in time for Thanksgiving this year…I don’t want to see him so we will just celebrate Thanksgiving here at the house…we would rather do that anyways…he is really a destructive person to everyone, but me he picks on the most…says I’m a mooch on society and that I should’ve worked the whole time I was on disbility…this hurt me…

It’s wrong for him to be mean to you. But, you do say you have absolutely no psychotic symptoms so you are actually able to work. Do you think that’s what he means?

Good idea to not see him.
That’s self respect!
When he speaks of and to you that way and doesn’t value or appreciate who you are then he doesn’t deserve access to you.
Maybe you can meet your mum for thanksgiving breakfast at a cafe so you still get to meet her.
Then you can have the special dinner at home with your wife.

I “have to “ meet some “family” who look and talk down at me and dont love me or value me but pretend to be nice when in reality are horrible.
I “have to “ meet them because my land lord is there mum and family etc and I can’t afford to move out.
I only see them twice a year or so but yeah that’s still too much ….
Also we had such different lives and treated differently and they have nooooooo idea….

its easy for people to judge esp as when stable the illness can be very hidden, hidden illnesses are ok bc its under control more but people look at us and say why cant they do this or why cant they do that.
I’ve been trying for years to build up my stamina & trying work, it is so hard even when stable, I still try anddo what i can (i actually think i push myself too hard sometime) well i know i do & it can make me unwell.

If someone is gonna insult you like that it doesn’t matter that he’s your family. You are doing the right thing saying you don’t want to spend time in his company.
