My little brother drives me nuts but I feel so bad for him at the same time. Right now, he is posting lines from the proclamation on the family every day. So, the first post he says what he is doing then says, "any negative or hate filled comments will be deleted" He says and does this frequently. If you make any sort of comment that he disagrees with in any way, he'll delete your post. He's even deleted me altogether because I just posted my opinion on something he said that he didn't like.
I feel bad for my bro, cause I don't think he's altogether "there" in his head sometimes. So I can't feel like I can really call him out or get mad at him. I think he should be evaluated and be in therapy, but my parents just seem to think he's a strange kid.
The other thing he does is constantly whine about "girls won't date me because I'm not an RM". I can tell he feels horrible about not going on a mission, and it pisses me off that the church pushes missions and expectations so much on people. Nobody really knows why he didn't go on one. Personally, I am SO glad he didn't go on one, but it makes me sad he thinks its such a huge deal.
I wish I could rescue him from the church and my dad. My dad is very anal about doing everything "perfect" as far as the church is concerned,and I'm sure my brother thinks he has to be perfect too. Unfortunately, I don't see him moving out of the house anytime soon due to his mental problems, etc. I wish I could just get my brother to take a break from the church and see what real life is like outside of mormondumb. Sadly,he is extremely closed minded and judgemental.
I wish I could help him, but I don't know what to do.
