Obviously Mark wouldn't get violent with Tyler, but I think his attitude towards his brother compares with their father's. Mark seems to me to be carrying on the family tradition of treating Tyler as if he's not good enough. It was obvious from Tyler's first episode that he was desperate not to disappoint Mark, and this led him directly into getting involved with Dimato. Cause and effect.
Don't get me wrong, I really like Mark, but he's always been a perfectionist and that means that others often fail to live up to impossibly high standards. I like the fact that Mark is a layered character and not one-dimensional, as is Tyler because he's a nice guy who's made some very bad decisions rather than being a bad boy.
