I went NC with my brother when my mother died seven years ago. He has always been aggressive, intrusive and entitled. He has abused drugs since he was very young (enabled by my mum for whine he was the golden child who could do no wrong) and has at times been very violent. In short, he frightens me and I don’t like or trust him. I have three kids of my own to keep safe. I blocked him from contacting me and changed numbers. I just received a belated happy birthday text from an unknown number and it turned out to be him. I have my suspicions about who gave him my number. They have continually minimized how much I am affected by him and previously told him where I live. I feel so violated and I can’t understand why this person keeps doing this.
