“Cut off communication with elder brother”

Elder brother constantly teased, ridiculed, and hit me throughout childhood. I couldn't take it anymore and stopped contacting him after I left home for higher studies.

What I wish I knew
"He never acted like a big brother once in his life"
If I could tell you one thing
"Don't invest time in relationships with people who don't treat you with respect and kindness"
