Thanks for your response
you are right, that I can't change who he is. I suppose I have a tendency to have certain expectations of people and to be disappointed when they don't meet those expectations. Like how I always thought my brother would be the kind of brother who would stand up for me if someone ever said something sexual or nasty about me, so it was a real shock and disappointment to see that he did the very opposite
(considering he was 22 or 23 when that happened, so you can't give him the benefit of the doubt of being an immature teenager!)
and thanks for welcoming me to the forum!
