A good suggestion. I was actually able to do that much earlier than i was able to do it with my father. I feel at peace with both of them now, but i still hold resentment towards my brother. Perhaps i should try to do that with him. smile


Holly, that is a great idea! I try to remember that with my brother, too. It is easier to accept the person he is now than to hold onto the resentments from childhood. Life is too short to let resentments control our feelings and our thoughts, right?

I don't know much of anything of my brother's childhood. He was ten when i was born, and as i became more aware (4 to 6 years old), he was a teenager and spent as little time at home and with the family as he could. I was 6 when he left for college at 17. Then i saw him for just a few days each year, and then less and less.

I know what he has told me and there are the larger family events i know. I'm sure he craved his father's attention and didn't get it. And he might have felt he lost his mother's attention, also, when i was born.
