writes:This is a bit of an awkward one, its more for advice im seeking rather than me asking a specific question. The general background is that, our father died when we were young and my oldest brother always used it as an excuse to get him self out of trouble. At this stage that has what it as been like for over 13 years. He's now in is 30's. And still does the same thing. Its like a brick wall when trying to talk to him, he never has or will accept when he's wrong, and when you try to talk to him he just walk's out and say's whatever. When we try get another male part of the family to have a chat with him he just tell's them to (put in a less vulgar context) 'butt out'. He get's so angry you think he would lash out but we avoid making him angry to avoid that happening. But this is why he gets away with murder. Anyway to make a long story short, he is absolutely breaking my mother's heart and she has been through so much, and bailed him out so many time's, I really dont know what to do. Im so depressed and worried for my mother's health... Please Help...

 Hellow, I am pritty sure that your brother has unfortunitly a personality disorder. There are several different types of personality disorders. He could have a borderline personality disorder or a narsistic personality disorder, I am not sure. In my opinion you should go on google and type in 'Different types of personalty disorders''. You should then read about them in order to find out which type of P.D your brother could have. If you find out that one could match your brother's profile you will be able to understand him better and handle him better. It seemingly is impossible to reason with your brother since he would never put himself into quistion in an arguement. You should have sympathy for your brother because there is nothing he can do about it. However you should tell him that he should put himself into quistion sometimes and that its perfectly ok to be wrong sometimes, nobody is perfect.
When you see him starting to get rude treat him like a child by waiting until he pipes down again. Having a personality disorder is nothing rare it is estimated that in britain for example that 1 in 20 have a personality disorder.
