I am glad you and your brother are so close. My siblings and I aren't, and I think that makes it harder. Esp since they are the golden ones and I am not. Getting pregnant at 15 doesn't warm the heart. You and your brother stay close! United we stand, and all that.
My brother and I are close by a combination of luck and a lot of patience on my part, I guess. I tried very hard to never blame him for being the golden child, and to let myself see how he was being damaged, just differently, and then I always tried very hard not to give in to the sibling rivalry my parents would try to incite. Then I was also lucky that my brother turned out to be rather mature and came around eventually in spite of everything. I consider myself very lucky that we are close. Some parents corrupt a golden child so bad that they destroy sibling bonds forever. I'm sorry if that happened to you. It's unforgivable IMO.
Thanks for this!
