What to do with him anymore?

I plan to have my nap this afternoon but because I was busy watching movies, it is too late for me for that. So I decided to have a sandwich with cheese spread and a hot black coffee. Earlier today, I was having a heated argument with our younger Brother who knows nothing but always facing his tab and talks to his transgender girlfriend. From the time he wakes up until he sleeps, they always talk, and this kind of relationship irk us so bad that we wanted to have this relationship to end. The thing is, he cannot focus his attention on the chores and also attending to our needs. He always in a hurry because his girlfriend will get mad at him if he takes time to face her. And then the ending is, no chores are okay, always in a mess. I sort this thing to my Father who at the first place never approve of this kind. But since our Mother tolerates it because she cannot provide him with his school, she let it be and sot that she is free of the responsibilities. Now the transgender girlfriend is manipulating his life. One time we heard my Brother crying because the transgender gave him an ultimatum not to talk to some girls on facebook. The transgender girlfriend even makes him absent from school for 4 days. Imagine that kind of thing. Do you think we should let this to continue?

That sounds like an unfortunate condition. How old is your brother?? If he is an adult, it is his choice to go with his life and learn a lesson a hard way. But if he is a minor you need to be strict with him. He needs help. It definitely sounds like a toxic relationship. Quite suffocating..he needs to come out of it.

Yes, but he seemed to like it. I also think he is in love with this transgender woman. My Brother is good looking and tall, I know he can make a woman cry but having this kind of relationship is not what I want for him. Even my Father does not approve of it. He is 21 now.

@arunima25 Yes, I know but he still needs our guidance since he still lives with us. Maybe I will talk to him once I'm ready. Thanks.

@JustBhem He is an adult and in full charge of his life. Maybe a good talk with a positive tone can help. Criticizing him or a complaining tone might backfire.

I love the LGBT community. I don't care if his girlfriend is a transgender, just as long as he's happy. And who are we to judge, right? But based on your story, he is in a toxic relationship. The transgender is not a good influence, in any way.

Me too, I am not against it. If that transgender really cares about us, he should let my Brother attend to us any time of the day. I and my Mother are both sick, our younger Brother is the only siblings we have at home because two of them are working to give us food in our table. And what happens is, the transgender gets jealous whenever our younger Brother will do something for us instead of facing her in their video call. Do you think it's right? I know they still have time to talk but not every second, every minute, every hour and every day. It's too much!

@JustBhem The transgender seems to be the possessive type. Not good

Not a good influence plus it is a wrong relationship. Tell your brother that he will not be blessed because it is a sin to have a wrong relationship. Don't get me wrong I love the LGBT community but not tolerating the relationship.

How old is your brother? In our country all is about the age of the boy. When someone reaches legal age you cannot forbid to see and talk with those he/she likes.

She needs to go. Sounds like a toxic relationship. How old is he? If he is a minor then he should obey what you guys say and if he is older then 18 then I guess he just will learn the hard way when they break up. Sometimes we just let things happen so that he can then open his eyes

When he got to their relationship he was minor and not he is 21. Actually, I have nothing against with this kind of relationship but it involves my Brother is somewhat like I cannot take though how many times I told myself it's okay. It's bothering because this transgender girlfriend is manipulating him and he changes his attitude towards us.

@Ladanger Yes, maybe because he is so dependent on her, I know one day he will realize it when he will meet a nice and decent girl.

you have to talk with your brother and let him realize his situation. Even if want him out of the relationship, if he does not want to then it will not happen.

How many times I talked to him, he listens but he never put all my advice in his head. He said that until he graduates he will leave him and that, but I doubt. Transgenders are not like that, once they give someone everything there is no need to quit. They will own you.
