My mother allowed my step brothers to bully me and my younger brother our whole lives, ridicule us for our inability to not speak our native language, infantilised us/spoke of us as if we were children even when we were transitioning into young men, especially with no active father in the house to teach us how to be men, and wonder why we aren't getting into relationships and why we don't want to build a relationship with them in our adult years.
