“Mom, he’s like this now because you and Dad have been spoiling him since childhood! Just look at him! He’ll doom us all if he keeps this jobless deadbeat bullsh*t up!” I shouted angrily while pointing at Steven who was hiding behind her.

I didn’t care if my words would affect my relationship with Steven as I knew for a fact that we would all be done for if we carried on like this.

 

“How could you say that about your brother?” Mom snapped back at me furiously before Steven could even say anything in response.

I wasn’t comfortable with how Mom was defending Steven like that, but I had gotten used to it over time. All I wanted was for Steven to do his part and help support the family with me.

“That’s rude, Anna! How could you call me, your brother, a parasite? Are you implying that Mom and Dad gave birth to a parasite?” Steven retorted as if his actions were completely justified.
