Yes, I have three brothers. my half brother died about 5 months ago in a Car accident.
My oldest brother has always been loved very much this is my idea...... about my slant on my family.

Families.......after years of therapy, I can say
I'm comfortable with only myself this is clear to me. that's it.
I cannot change anyone in my family and....they all still act the 'same,' for instance.......I said to mum Ide visit her yesterday but then cancelled. she's chucking a tantrum ....when I rang her this morning, she's speaking very cold and abrupt to me. Usually, I would have driven over there, told her her how much I love her and taken her dog for a walk.....?Anything for her to love me.
now I don't care. Ille see her another day when I'm not so busy.


My children...im more interested in .....but...don't hear from them very much at all. that's okay. I have no problems with this as I know that they know thAt they are very loved by me.....I was a good enough parent for them. That's all you gotta be.....good enough.
My mother wasn't good enough.


you read like you have had lots of therapy because you show remorse and consideration beyond your years.

Personally, If I was you, Ide just separate myself from your Mum and Dad and just focus on your relationship with your brother. your Mum and Dad will always be there,

I really meant it when I wrote your a special brother. My brothers deal with their own stuff very separate from me and their brothers.

the trust can come when they are ready.

thanks for the message, it made me smile :0)
