I see that in my youngest brother sometimes. (He is 8 yrs younger.) I see how I might have shaped him. From the moment he was little I teased him and he was scrappy and defensive thru it all. I still see that in him. He has a strong constitution and has turned into a hard worker and great family man. I don't know if he has any bad feelings towards me because no one in the family talks about those things. Everyone avoids the pink elephant in the room all of the time. But we pretend that we're all close. Very strange.
