Yes, I'm gay, but that wasn't the issue. The real issue was the fact that he always landed on his feet and did not suffer the fate that I did at home with a violent alcoholic Father because he ran away and moved out of home, leaving me and my Ma to put up with all the crap that was thrown at us including me being molested by my Dad's cousin because he was too drunk to have protected me. Yes, I'm angry and yes I'm livid and I never want anything to do with him again. And now? Once again his life turned out wonderful and complete with his new son. The son I couldn't give my Ma because of my sexuality. I forgave my Da because he put aside his own devastation of my Ma's death to help me through that time.

My brother is dead to me.

Hi, @yangedd, thinking of you today and all the hard things you had to endure as a young person in your home with your violent alcoholic father. Sounds like it was and is hard to think that your brother did not have to go through all the things that you had to suffer.

Wondering how your appointment went with Dr. Naughton?
