In being furious at my brother?

Story.

My brother has always been very tricky, always taking offense and falling out with people, imaging slights and holding grudges for years.

He doesn't really have a relationship with anyone else in the family now, but I have always stuck by him, listened to him moan for hours (and I mean hours) on the phone etc etc. He is never really that interested in me or my ds.

A few years ago I lent him money to help him buy his house, not a lot, about 2K, and he paid it all back (not in a lump sum, but I was ok with that).

More recently I lent him another 3K to help him out again (bearing in mind I am a single parent, so it was out of my savings). I told him in August I needed the money back by december, and he asked for my bank details, which I gave him. He didn't want to do a lump sum, but I had loaned it to him on the understanding I had it all back in one go.

He started being all difficult but finally agreed. wanted to do test transfers etc etc, which I just ignored.

December comes and goes, no money. Finally calls today asking when I want the money, and I said, well now. then he got started getting angry at me because "he knew I would be difficult and expect it all at the drop of a hat"

And it now denying that I ever gave him my details! Called me mad, and put the phone down on me!

WTF?

He is a doctor, btw, not married with no kids.

I sent him a text saying I thought he was being very ungrateful and rude, but just to send me the money, and he is now texting me saying I am making an issue out of nothing.

Am IBU?

I lent him money I could ill-afford, He agreed to pay it back by a certain date, didn't do it, blames me for not giving him my bank details and is calling me mad!

To honest, I just can't be bothered anymore.

If he's an SHO they don't earn that much I don't think. About 25k, which I know is a good salry but could still be hard raising a deposit, etc.

Though IMO people in such situations should save longer than asking relatives for loans.
