Hi Chalmette -- I understand. This is an ancient story -- think Cain and Abel.

My relationship with my brother has gone through many phases. My mother is in her 80s, and it breaks her heart when we don't talk to each other. So we do the best we can with that.

We keep our distance, but I think we care about each other. We push each other's buttons without meaning to so.

What's going on right now? Would you like to share more.
