Aundaray, your letter to your brother is very powerful and moving. So many male siblings could use your letter to begin the healing process of so many broken relationships. You hit it right on the head. We all have issues/conditions we are dealing with that affects our family relationships, but as you have pointed out, when we can see beyond our own needs and realize it's not just about me but about us as a whole (family, community etc) we fare a lot better in our family relationships. Like you, I am not close to my older brother. Before reading your letter, I would say I tolerate him because we are still blessed to have our mother alive. I see now that I need to do more than tolerate him, I need to get to know his challenges and struggles and become the brother to him that I would want him to be to me. thanks again, you are on your way to a higher emotional and spiritual healing!

I found your post interesting and moving - I would say the best advice, is to treat others as you would like to be treated - this has worked well for me. You are clearly working towards something big - you are probably right where you need to be. Love & Respect
