I usually don't have this problem but lately my brother who is only a year and a half younger than me suddenly thinks it's okay to curse at me and call me a "fucking bitch" all the time for no reason. He just got home from work and I asked what time he works tomorrow and he goes "it's none of your damn business". So I said "I was just curious. Gosh." and then he goes "well stop being such a nosy fucking bitch."
Like what the hell? I know he seems to not have had a good day at work but that's uncalled for. This isn't the first time it's happened either. I've brought this up to my mom and dad but they don't do anything about it and of course he doesn't do that in front of them. I don't talk to him like that. I don't curse at him or call him things like that. It happens all the time when I just ask him a question. Especially if he's on the computer (which is on absolutely all the time), he just tells me to shut the fuck up and ignores me. There's no reason for that kind of disrespect

but he also has a temper and can get physical which I'm trying to avoid. So it's kind of hard to stand up to him because he just comes back with more cursing and starts yelling.

And I said something to him and started crying in front of him about it. I tried to tell him there was no reason for that and that I didn't deserve to be spoken to that way and that is was extremely disrespectful and all I got from him was "Don't tell me what to do. Now get out and leave me alone."

Do you live with your parents? If so they may need to get involved.

Both of us do. I'm home for the summer from college and he just graduated from high school. I'm definitely going to tell them about this instance tomorrow morning if I can catch one of them before I leave for work. I've told them about past instances and they didn't do anything about it.

If your parents don't do anything,then search his room and/or his computer. Either something has happened that's hurting him and causing him to lash out (which is most likely in my opinion) or he's using drugs. Both of those can cause some pretty bad agitation..oh and if you search his room,be sure to take photos of it before you do,so you know what to move around and where to put it when you're done with it.

Honestly I don't think it's drugs. He has suddenly gotten this sense of entitlement as if he has power over me since I came home for summer. And the fact I let past instances slide isn't helping. I eent back to his room and firmly said that it's not okay to talk to anyone like that because it's disrespectful and no one deserves that" and he said "I don't fucking care if its disrespectful. Don't tell me what to do you special snowflake and get the fuck out"
I've been crying ever since he first said that and I'm just afraid mom and dad are going to keep letting it slide by and its going to continue.

..'Kay then..serious question..how do you feel about slapping him? Because it might be necessary. Of course you should attempt to sit him down and speak to him first,but it's not likely that'll work..

If I slap him, he'll get physical too and he would go as far as to hurt me because he's nearly done it before. He loses his temper easily and right now mom and dad are asleep so it would wake them up and they would be mad because we woke them up for this.

If they're mad at you for mere retaliation,then they have some issues that need to be addressed.

It would likely be best to wait in the morning anyway just so I can calm down myself.

I wish I had recorded when i went to him to address the problem that way he couldn't try to twist up his words later.

Being calm is important,but be sure to stay alert anyway. Focus on trying to talk to him and/or your parents. If need be,just calmly ask him why he seems different lately.

As for the recording,DO THAT! use your phone or something but make sure he can't see it.

I did ask him earlier and got the response "it's none of your fucking business"

Kay,then it's time to pull out the recording app! Use his words against him. Show it to a therapist if need be.

I will. Thank you for your help. I'll update on what my parents say tomorrow

Just beat he fuck out of him. Also stop crying, that's not gonna solve anything and makes you more annoying. Just be an asshole back to him and drop the whole 'this is disrespectful and hurting my feelings!!!' bullshit. He obviously doesn't care about feelings and respect and that stuff cuz he isn't a softie or whatever. Don't slap him like a pussy just punch him straight in the nose. The shock of that will stun him, then you can go for a hook to the eye or uppercut the bottom of his nose. Haha I guess don't go full murderer on him but seriously just stop acting all emotional and feeling-y cuz he gets pissed by that more. Just act like a damn rock and call him a worthless animal who couldn't be half the person you are right now in his entire life. So yea, fuck the feelings shit

The only thing that will mess him up is if you stay calm and composed and act like his words don't matter
