He has passed and left behind a legacy of dysfunction in his wake. I, too, have felt the sting of "family" differences. I so felt your pain in this post that you have so eloquently written and I think you're doing everything in the world that's right. <br />Take care and continue to be kind to yourself.<br />~Kathy2 kids...3 martinishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10347480912397417841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6126493909831741512.post-7627589122391949282009-10-12T22:15:13.811-07:002009-10-12T22:15:13.811-07:00Oh mommy!

I wish I...I´m so sorry you have to go through this. I wish I had some comforting words to make you feel better. But unfortunately I don´t. I can just say I know somewhat of what you are feeling. My siblings and I also have a very "fragile" relationship. I try to keep the peace with them, by not saying too much and keeping at a distance. We are all very direct and open speaking people and this can hurt sometimes.<br />I think from reading this post, that your brother sees you as a replacement of his mother. He has all the pent up anger to deal with and this little email you sent was the perfect excuse to explode. He blames you for things, because he can´t blame your mother anymore.<br />I know I don´t see the whole picture, this is just what an "outsider" thinks. I truly hope you can find peace about this matter and just appreciate what good friends and family you do have.Betty Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357132033070346815noreply@blogger.com
