Is it normal i think my brother is starting a gang/cult
My brother is 20 and attending University while he lives at home. Over the past couple months these depressing looking punks have been showing up to our house to drop money off for my brother, like, a LOT of money. At first we thought he was dealing drugs, but that turned out to be not true.
These guys are between 16-25 and are complete punks but talk about my brother like he’s some god and they get super pissed off if you bad mouth him. They’re all scummy.
My brother has always had pretty devilish charisma, he’s talked kids into doing his work for him his whole life, even as a kid. He’s a bully but he knows just how to blow smoke up your ass and make you think you’re worth something special to him.
My mom and I have confronted him on this many times but he will just smirk it off and act like a smug asshole talking about “I can’t help that I have people bring me gifts, they must really like me. You want me to be liked, don’t you?”
He’s manipulated my family and strong armed them into giving him everything, he lives like a rockstar while my mother has to struggle to buy new work clothes.
