I was going to come on here and celebrate that exams are over and yay for being off hiatus and woo etc, but this is now turning into an emo rant crying post. If you're in a good mood for the love of God leave now before it's too late
.
So my brother and Mum screamed at me and reduced me to a sobbing mess tonight when they told me that:

1. I'm a lazy

I know we don't comment much, but I really think, coming from your family that's out of order. And besides that cruel, they don't sound like they're saying these things to help you, they're just mean.

My family have been similarly as unsupportive, calling me fat, stupid, telling me university is a waste of my time and that I'm ungrateful. But you know what; I just finished my third year of a law degree and now they're all dying to come to my graduation. Some people don't wear envy well, which with what you said about your brother's academic failure, it could well be.

All I can say is good for you :)
Tbh I'm trying my hardest to not pay attention to what they're saying, and just focus on my education and my future, because I'm relying on that to get me out of here and away from them. And I see your point about being envious. I really hope it isn't though, because he's been given countless chances and he's blown all of them, it's just silliness on his part.
Thanks for the advice, though :)

Aw, sweetie. Ignore them. Go enjoy yourself and do something you like. You deserve it after the hard work you've put in for your exams. =)

It sounds to me like your brother is hugely jealous of your ability to stick with academic work, and the fact that the work you're putting into revision and exams means that it's increasingly clear that YOU have a far more promising future than he does and he SEES that and it's making him angry. That's no excuse to be such a bastard about it, though.

And as for your mother - well, mothers can be very, very petty creatures. I know from experiance myself. No matter how much some part of them wants whats best for you, the rest of them wants what THEY think is best for you and will take as an insult anything about you that doesn't quite meet THEIR standards. It's a vicarious living thing, and is, once again, about jealousy.

Stick it out. With any luck, the work you've put in for your exams will pay off and you will be off to uni and out of there before you know it. *hugs* Hang in there.

They have no grounding when they talk shit like that. You know that they're just using you as something to take out their aggression on - which is ridiculously unfair - but you can't take what they say to heart. They should be fucking proud of you by how well you've done (at life) considering the shitty circumstances that you've found yourself in recently.
Your brother can eat poo.
It's not fair that they treat you like that but you have to make sure that you don't let them lose anymore self confidence. In the end, you are what your mama made you - you were shaped by her upbringing so whatever flaws you have are partly her fault. Not that you have any flaws, 'to me, you're perfect.' I swear that's a movie quote..
Also, calling you fat is just low.
Anyway, I love you.
