My brother thinking he's a cyborg
creates tension in the house.
I'm making something, would you like something to eat?
No, we have water. Okay.
My mom and my brother are like constantly arguing
because all he does is spend time in his room.
When Orrin first told me he was a cyborg
I thought he was joking.
I think that something is wrong with him.
I feel like Orrin has a valid message
but the way he goes about it is kind of off.
I think something maybe happened in college
that could have triggered
the reason why he believes he's a cyborg.
He was always pretty quirky
but I feel like it's been taken to the extreme
with the robotic stuff.
He used to be fun and energetic
because we would always go out to the beach
and now there's no time for that, I guess.
Orrin has told me that he went to the future in 2015.
He's seen everything.
Orrin said he has seen the end of the world
and that technology has taken over.
I usually walk away when he says stuff like that
because it usually upsets me
and frustrates me sometimes.
I'm surprised my mom has been this patient.
Why don't you get a couple of these water bottles
in a bag, take them outside for the recycling?
Tomorrow.
Why don't you do that now?
We're busy.
You're not busy.
If you wanna save the world, you should recycle.
I feel like I expected him to get a job
since he went to a good college.
No one has really expected him
to wanna become a rapper, much less a cyborg.
I feel like my brother might be at his tipping point
because I never seen it get this bad.
He doesn't eat, he doesn't interact with anyone anymore
and it's starting to worry me.
I feel disconnected from Orrin.
I wanna be closer like how we were before.
I miss my brother Orrin and I want him back.
You say you miss your brother, what do you miss?
We would laugh a lot, we would hang out
with my other sister and I just feel like
it's been such a long time
since I've had that and I don't really feel cherished
to have a sister. He doesn't cherish
his family, it's like we're not important to him.
Do you miss your sister?
Do you miss spending time with her?
We live in the same house.
Now answer my question.
We were all flown out to Las Angeles together.
We went to the Santa Monica Pier yesterday.
That can be rekindled.
But that was the first time in months
where we've actually spent time together.
Did you enjoy the time you spent with her?
It was pleasant, yes.
Do you think that your mother enables him?
She is a really nice person (laughing)
and so I feel like she's really patient,
but I wouldn't call her an enabler because I've seen her
like try to kick him out and I feel like
it's also my responsibility
that he's still not doing what he needs to do
because I was, I made her feel like (bleeping)
for wanting to kick him out,
so I feel like we're all guilty.
But she tells him to get a job,
but she doesn't enforce it.
She pays for everything, rent, food,
I mean, you pick up all the bills, right?
Yes.
You support him because you've never been close
and there's been difficulties in the relationship.
So you're kind of parenting out of guilt and fear.
That is true.
Why were you strained in the past?
I was married to his father and then that relationship
ended and I remarried with Samantha's dad
and Orrin had a very difficult time
with that transition.
He went to live with his grandparents for a while
and it was difficult on me because I wanted him home
but he just couldn't deal with the new family
and new husband and so forth.
So when he said that he needed to come back home
to regroup and to get himself together,
I welcomed him with open arms.
That's very reasonable.
