Time to play some D. It's a sad epiphany when you realize that the love and respect that you have for your siblings aren't necessarily reciprocated. How have your brother and sister compensated (not necessarily paid, but compensated) you for your sacrifice in taking care of your mother while they lived their lives unencumbered, recording CDs and guiding sports editors from Milwaukee and Chicago? Now that your brother has to step up and shoulder some (or all) of your shared responsibility, he's acting like a brat. I would not allow myself to be stepped on at this juncture. Your brother's success has been, in part, made possible by your sacrifices. Now, hobby time is over.
