Oh, Brother!

As a sister of a RAD kid, I'll tell you what it's like,

Most every day I'd like to say, brother take a hike.

He tries to boss me and control me in everything I do,

And if you were here, I'd fear, he'd try to boss you too.

He won't hesitate to manipulate while boldly pleading his case,

And tell you a lie without batting an eye, straight into your face.

He zaps my daddy's energy and wears my poor momma out,

And if he doesn't get his way... Well..., he'll begin to shout.

So, I cover my ears and cry my tears because the fight will never cease,

I'm just soooo sad he's raging mad and all I want is peace.
