i was hoping to get some input on a family fued.
to give a little background, my brother (27) has basically shut me and our family out of his life. the only means of communication we are granted *eyeroll* is facebook even though he lives like 10 minutes away. we make attempts to call but he ignores them. i rarely ever talk to him on facebook but when he posts i see it on my wall.
so he posted that he was bummed about working overtime. his wife made a comment referring to his old job, something along the lines of, "you would be making more money and be home with your wife and baby, but unfortunately no one taught you as a child that good comes from working through the bad. now you are learning it on your own as an adult. oh, is that too intense to post on facebook?"
this made me mad. it's like she was cutting down my brother and cutting down my family for the way he was raised! since her comment ended with a question i said, "yes, that was unnecessary and f*cking rude." i am usually very quiet and mild-mannered but her comment enraged me. i am tired of their sh*ttalking. i also sent my brother a private message that said, "i don't like the way she cuts you down, i don't like the way she cuts our family down. not cute."
my brother went off on me saying that she was just joking, to pull the stick out of my *ss, and called me a dumb f*ck. i asked him why he was being so hateful and he just said, "delete!" wow.
so was i totally out of line? her comment did not at all sound jocular, especially the way it was poised with the question, "is this too intense for facebook?" i answered her question.
was i out of line?
am i out of line to feel like she is insulting my brother and my family?
i might feel inclined to apologize but the way he cussed me out, i feel like he owes me an apology.
if you have read this far: thanks! sometimes i just don't know if i am being irrational and i need outside perspective.
