Hi rosska

Thanks for your response. I agree with you that he needs to see a psychiatrist. Unfortunately, my brother will not, or cannot, communicate with me by any means at the moment. Our mother died last year and on the day of her funeral my brother did not speak to me. He couldn't even look me in the eye yet he has since then acted in a quite awful way controlling the situation surrounding her estate and now he won't let me have any of my childhood photographs that are of sentimental value to me. It seems as if he feels it it is his right only to have a link to the past and he seems to want me out of his life and in a way is attempting to re-write his own childhood without me in it. It is the most disturbing behaviour I have ever witnessed in anyone. I feel powerless to do anything about it as he continues to act in this despicable manner. I think part of it is jealousy from childhood but his behaviour goes far beyond that. I am now struggling with depression at being treated in this way.
