Ok so here’s what happened: my mom (50+) wanted to put a rug in the kitchen that my brother (20s), dad (50+), and I (teen) hated. She refused to listen to our opinions so everyone started raising their voices. I got uncomfortable and went to my room to get some peace and quiet. My brother comes to my room shortly after and starts yelling at me for always running away from my problems (this isn’t the first time I’ve stepped out of an uncomfortable situation). I try to defend myself but he keeps attacking me. The argument escalates so far that I start calling him things like “insensitive” and he starts using my mental illness to tear me down. I am extremely hurt by the fact that he would go there over a silly rug and I start crying and screaming. My mom had to come in and break us up. I’m aware that he’s TA for blowing up like that, but AMTA too for walking away, and for still not forgiving him weeks after? I still talk to him and act polite but I don’t actually forgive him.
