It's been a lifelong thing, and we've tried having talks, either informal or those dreaded 'family talks' but it doesn't produce any lasting change. Mainly because he thinks it's warranted. *shrugs* He doesn't really believe he's overreacting, these petty little things are of the utmost importance to him and he's so convinced that everything will fall apart and end in disaster if we don't follow his rules. It's seriously a mental condition, 'coz that isn't normal.

Mother does her best to act as a buffer, which is kinda rough on her, I think, since she CHOSE him whereas I'm just stuck with him. *shrugs* It's an emotional roller-coaster, but I've gotten used to it and he's toned it down some throughout the years. Maybe by the time I'm 40, we'll have worked things out. *eyeroll*

I do think I'll wind up needing therapy at some point, ugh. But it's helpful to post on LJ and just vent about my feelings like this. Thanks for the support. *squishes*

Btw? Cute icon! I can't wait for our show to return... ^_^
