So, i'm 15, a girl, and i have leukemia. I'm adopted, from foster care, i was adopted when i was 8 and was diagnosed with CML when i was 11. I’ve an adopted brother, and he really dislikes me. and lately, he's been being really mean (not being whiney, actual question coming). After my treatments i feel horrible and all i can really do initally is sleep, because i dont feel well enough to do anything else. But he's been waking me up on purpose, (he's older, 17) there's no lock on my door, what can i do? because i need to sleep, or i'll just keep throwing up, and he apparently does not care.
Answer:
wow.. that actually brought tears to my eyes. My younger sister has lived with Leukemia for 18 years. She was diagnosed when she was 3. I was only 6 at the time, and I must state, it wasn't easy growing up with a sibling going through cancer, but I know I was never that cruel. If he's been in the system most of his life, he has the ability to have issues simply with the fact your foster family has to spend a lot of time with you because of the chemo and he feels left out. I know I did when I was growing up, but he needs to comprehend there's nothing you can do about that. Honey, I would have a serious sit down talk with your parents and let them know, is there something specific that your brother doesn't like, or is he just mean? well that is the best bet. You need to talk to you parents about it. Good luck to you honey and youre in my prayers.
Answer:
The only thing that I have the ability to come up with is that your brother is having a hard time dealing with your leukemia. I think he probably does like you, but just has a hard time showing it. What does your parents say about it? Would he feel, like they are spending a lot of time with you and not with his needs? Be patient, sit down with him and tell him how you feel, and how he feels, no getting upset or yelling at each other. He’s probably as scared as you must be.
Answer:
Get a judge to get a restraining order against him , it's tragic enough that you’re going through a rough time with your disease, you don't need to put up with that abuse.
Ask if he can live somewhere else, and get a lawyer for you if he keeps it up.
God Bless you, my prayers are with you.
Answer:
I'm so sorry. Have you stated something to your parents about this? Maybe they can speak to him and put a lock on your door so you can have some peace and privacy.
Answer:
And you don't tell your parents what he’s doing? (he is a cruel person)
Also, put a lock on your door if you’ve to, you need the rest so you can get superior.
My best wishes for good health asap! 
Answer:
Crash at your Friends house. Bribe him. tell your parents.
Answer:
tell him how cruel he's being, an how immature. he's 17 you said?
tell your adoptive parents, they shoul punish him for being so horrible
what can really get him? this is a little immature but you can tell his friends or any future girl/boyfriends he may have and completely screw him over. you dont have to be malicious about it, just mention it to them quietly an introduce it as the same question you posed here. friends and potential lovers have real impact on a persons actions
lastly talk to him. ask him why he hates you so and try to figure out a way that you can both live peacefully
Answer:
I'm sorry to hear you’ve leukemia at such a young age. I do hope it goes into remission, so you can enjoy the remainder of your teen years.
Talk to your adoptive parents about your brother's actions. They need to make him understand that you NEED your rest after your treatments, for the sake of your health, and that he's to respect that. How would he like it if the shoe were on the other foot?
My question is, is your brother your adoptive parents' biological son?
If your parents can’t make him stop bothering you, perhaps they would concur to install a lock on your door so you CAN get the rest you require.
