Where to begin. I work with my youngest brother as an independent contractor. It is a great job if I can stay away from him when he is in his "moods". He can be a wonderful guy at least 80 % of the time, but is a narcissist for sure. His sexist temper tantrums are legendary and always focused on myself or the other woman contractor.

The latest is how he didnt want to pay me because I had a high paycheck this two week period. He spun that into I am selfish and an immature old lady because I reminded him he never balks at paying the guy a big pay check.

I have had plenty of therapy and positive thinking type indoctrination over the years regarding these types of issues with him and my family...also a bunch of flaming narcissists. Short of quitting, which I wont, because it is a dream job otherwise, I would like to come up with some new coping skills. I have tried ignoring him, leaving the room, fighting back, etc. Any ideas?

Just looking for more peace in my life at 56.
