This may be long sorry

My Mum and my big bro (9 years older than me) do not speak as well to put it bluntly my mum can't exept that my big bro is gay, he did get married to a woman just to please her ( i think that in hinesite).

Well for the past 3/4 years they have not spoken after a big argument over money they had lent and he had not paid back, mainly his folt but mum being bitchy was quite nasty to him(she is to me too calls me fat etc but mostly I dont take any notice), later after things had calmed instead of trying again to sort things out she sent a bitchy email and wrote a horrid letter after he forgot her birthday.

This made him dig his heals in more so he has only seen her once in all this time.

Well basically my bro just turned 30 mum has turned on me, is snapping at everyone, is cross with everything... I live at home as I can't afford not to so I get all th dhit.

I will loose it through and will snap back as she is acting like a teenager.

What do I do ?

It doesn't sound as though she's the sort of person you can reason with. I can't imagine what kind of mother would intimidate her gay son into getting married, she must have had some strong influence over him!! You're doing the right thing by ignoring her bitchy comments. What would she do if you did stand up to her?

If having any kind of discussion isn't an option I'd just stay well out of her way while she's in this mood, and start making plans for the future so you can be out of there asap - college course, extra part-time job/whatever.

I would tell your mum that if she doesn't come round to the fact your brother is gay, she is going to end up a very lonely old woman.
No matter what your child's sexual preference you should accept them no matter what.
I mean, he's gay not a mass murderer FGS!
