Reply #22: I've hung up on my brother a dozen times in the past two years [View All]

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

Every time he brings up the words "liberals" and "stupid" in a sentence, I hang up the phone.
It used to be that his wife would call me back in a day and we'd chat. She even did that once when he was being extrordinarily adveserial one day right before they were to go to our parents' house. She was concerned that I'd changed my mind.
Of course, she cheated on him and divorced him within four months of that time, but hey...
I've still told my brother that even though he needs his family more than ever right now, that does not give him the right to treat me like a doormat.
I'll continue to hang up on him. And if he keeps trying to antagonize me, I'll simply stop calling (or answering).
