Post Reply New Topic

Any sharing an apartment with your NT sister/brother ? It's my case, .. and the things instead goint to better form the first year we started to sharing one flat, are going to worse( it's has been 6 years of convivence already) .. and I'm turning nuts, .. I know it depnds of the relation you have with them , but in my case our relationship practically turned nule when he entered the teenage years ( because he decided to do this ). And since then it wa slike this, and of course moving here together was not our choice, it was the only way our parents let we went to study to other city ( cheaper for the expenses ) ..But we were grown persons already, and sadly, now in our twentie's both of us he wants to have the less relation/ interaction he can with me, the less the better ...
It hurts me he has to be so selfish and 'cold', but I try not to pay attetion, ( it's his choice, I'm can't do anything to change it if he doesn't want to), but I realized that lately I feel more depressed and tired than before to deal with this 'cold,cold' convivence .. Sometimes he showed me his desires to go to live for his own ( he's got girlfriend) tired of living with me and my 'excentricities and my routine obsessions and loneliness' these are his words, but now I think is really me who wants that he really leave, ( I'm stressed and I'm losing hair for it ... ) ...
Any help ?

I am sorry to hear of your sadness.
My son and daughter are living in the same house, both are NT and are 24 and 22 years. My daughter has the same complaints you have of your brother. He wants to be alone and do his own thing whereas she wants to be more social. Sometimes they have good interaction and do things together but mostly they have separate rooms and stay apart. As my daughter is older she tends to think she has the right to be the boss and that my son needs to treat her with respect because of this but they need to learn to treat each other as separate individuals as they would if living with someone who was not family.

no, but i do share a house with my mom and it sucks. 6 more months of hellyeah then im moving to washington to finally live on my own
