It is so stressful to live in a family where you are the eldest and because of my dad's situation I am in charge and I have a younger sibling in his teens 15, who likes to annoy me and do what he likes and when you have to discipline him, it makes him angry and he starts threatening you with a knife. And the whole family trying to calm him down and he just comes towards me with the knife but I controlled it away from him and he just angry and thinks he is the victim. So much stress and I avoid saying I am not stressed unless it get's this bad. But my sister pacifies him with reward in return.
Too much stress for me to handle. How do you handle with such problematic siblings.
that sucks man. my brother, the one who died last year, threatened to kill our dad at least once. had to physically restrain him. it was scary. no way to give any advice, really, not knowing you or your family. except, it might help to be honest with him, in a calm moment, about the stress that you feel. i'm sure he's stressed out, too, and he's showing it in a violent and shitty way. but maybe it comes from a place of genuine distress and it'd help to understand that he's not alone in it.
hope your brother calms down and grows into himself. good luck.
