My mom just told me that she loves my brother much more...?

My brother (age 25) and I (age 26) were arguing, and it resulted with him angrily tackling me to the ground hard. My mom thought it was funny and said "What do you want me to do about it? Yell at him?" I stood there in disbelief, crying. I argued with her that violence was horrible and so forth, and how could she just stand there and laugh. And then she said it: "I like your brother a lot more than you. What can you do about it? Why can't you be mature about it? Why can't you accept it?"

My brother has always disrespected me all his life, mainly because my mom treats me horribly. I'm 26 years old, and this is really affecting my studies, and social life. What should I do to make myself feel better? How can I "fix" myself?

Hi, WanttobeFree! It sounds like your mother and your brother are abusive. You stood up for yourself and confonted her about why she doesn't stop him when he hurts you and she showed you how she "feels". It's not your fault. She might have some weird bond with your brother and since she also has a need to abuse someone, that someone is you. People like this don't usually change and see the error of their ways.
Do you have to see them often? Try to make a life for yourself that doesn't really include them. Find what you like and are good at and you'll probably meet people who are similar to you that way.
Would it be possible for you to get a little therapy?

It had to hurt a lot to hear that. was alcohol involved? I mention this because it alters peoples personalities, especially if it is prolonged abuse of it.
I came from abusive parents who loved my sister more than me. I was always labeled too sensitive, too emotional. Truth is I was the only one who could see the truth and had no one to back me up.
Your 26. Living at home or not, you need to get a life, a busy one, outside of their reach.
YOU GET TO DECIDE WHO YOU ARE, NOT YOUR FAMILY.
It will take time to accept that but all people eventually have to let go of the hold of families have on us and learn to become someone we like and be proud of.
Don't waste your efforts trying to get them to see how you feel. It has gone on long enough that you have to know by now that they just don't get it.
Surround yourself with with healthy people. I had to slowly make my own family. New sisters, brothers, mothers and fathers.
People as damaged as your mom are not your problem to deal with. You need to look after your own life now. Your mom is responsible for making her life what it is.
She missed out. She was stupid and self absorbed and missed knowing you for the truly beautiful person you already are.
We see it here already, you just need to learn it for yourself.
I really hope the very best for you.
With care,
One

well i would say that caring is one of an important element which should be there in every relationship. i believe you should also try to add a little touch of caring so that your relationship can be the stronger one...if caring is there then no relationship is abused and you can live happy life
