My brother is an asshole, What should I do?
My brother is 28 years old and still lives at home. We live in a family of 6 and we all get along accept my brother. In our family is consists of of myself 18, sister 20, sister 22, mum 60, dad 60 and my brother 28. He is a single guy that drinks constantly, goes though relationships faster then laxatives and he treats no one with respect (even my parents). He thinks his the king of the house hold. But the main issue is this. Despite the fact he always insults me and disrespects me when I do nothing personal to him. Sorry I am babbling. Anyway this is the main problem. We have a family internet which is wireless and it is shared amongst the family with 20GB a month. My mum and dad never use it because they watch TV and they have unlimited internet at there offices so internet is not a problem with them. My older sister she has her own mobile internet, the one with plug in the router and use it anywhere thing, and my younger sister (which is still older) barely uses the internet because she is always out but I make sure that if we come close to the end of the month plan that I leave her 2gb (she mostly checks Facebook and eBay thats it). Me and my brother mostly use the net and thats OK but this is the problem. Because the phone line is in his room (spare line) we plug the internet modem into his room. Saying that he thinks he has total control over it and even though it's FAMILY internet, she treats it like his personal internet and never lets me or anyone else use it, unless he is on. It has got to the point where if I want to use the internet to relax, I have to search his room, plug it in and get off a bit early so he wont know that I was on it. But today he was a total asshole. He came home and because I was having fun talking to my mates on Facebook and playing a bit of Modern Warfare 2, he pulled out the internet and screamed out my name. I said in a annoyed but civil way "what is it" and he said "if you search my room again, I am going to kick the shit out of you and slit your throat. Do you understand me?", I said "It's the family internet and you have no right to decide when I use it, I have every right to use it as you do." He then proceed to come upstairs pushing me and getting in my face calling me names that were very offensive, well I wont discuss them because this message will get banned from yahoo answers but yeah he was really bad. I am in the Army so I have learnt to control my emotions and bashing the crap out of him would be pointless because nothing will get done about the problem. I was firm with him and I pretty much told him not to shove me and to back off and get our of my face, he continued to act childish and a wanker. Even though he hates me and I dislike him. Hes still my brother. I would of thought by now that by his age hew would be moved out and if not married at lease is a serious relationship. What do I do, he saids he might move out next year but I cant wait that long. I have CGo team on mw2 and I want to make it big, but I cant when he is in control of the internet. We just started the internet plan 2 weeks ago and in that 2 weeks I have only played 3 hours, while he is using it even every he wants. It's NOT fair! What should I do?
