Strictly speaking this isn't directly about my weight but it's something which is really bugging me right now and I fear it WILL start to urge my binges.
Recently I got a fund of a few thousand pounds that my mum has solely paid into since i was a child which I was given to use for any purpose. The thing is, I seldomly have any money for myself..I rarely buy a thing and quite often go in need of new clothes, shoes etc. My brother who has a steady income and a well paying job is totally naive with money. He spends it on rubbish and then loans it from other people and generally expects the world to drop everything for him, and when it doesn't 'everything is his fault and life isnt fair'.
He has never supported me, I have some severe mental and health issues which he doesn't support me in and in fact I've heard him say behind my back that 'I do it for attention' and I really dont feel he knows how difficult it really is to live with.
Since receiving this fund I have bought ONE thing with it. And already I have lent him hundreds of pounds. And he just keeps asking, he tells me I'm selfish if i say 'no' and the money is 'lying round doing nothing' and he makes me feel really selfish to keep this money for myself. But the money is MINE, he had his own fund, and he has a better paying job, and I really feel like he's taking advantage of me. Am I wrong for feeling this way? I just have to get this out of my system hopeing by doing so I might not turn to food for comfort.
