They talk behind someone's back kind of thing?

I used to get punished for some of the things he did. One time, I was picked up off of the ground and thrown against the wall by my own dad! I am alright now, but still. While I don't ever plan on doing that to my baby brother, I'm envious of what he gets to get away with. My sister tells me that I was the same way without being punished, but I don't see it.

So, I suppose I don't have any advice for you that you haven't thought of. I will say, though, that if you ever need to vent, I and others here on the site are happy to let you get your frustrations out. In forums or in PMs.

Who could forget you exist? You're funny, though I guess funny people are forgotten too. Thanks for offering me to vent towards you. It's not often staff of websites I frequent actually do something like that to their users.
