Good morning, @frouke. I don't know whether to thank you or not for your post about your brother. It sounded like a replay of my life. My brother was 3 years younger and for some reason, quite jealous of me. He was a critical tattle tale. He didn't want the same teachers I had so he wouldn't be compared to me. He was physically abusive when he found out that teenage girls developing breasts were often having growth pain.. He would hide behind a door so he could punch me as I went through the doorway. Or knock me down and then punch me in the breast while I was lying on the floor.
As an adult, he rarely came to family events if I was there. Years went by without contact. Then he died suddenly at a rather early age of 52. And so I live on (81 yrs now) with this life of discord and rejection. I always thought there would be time for resolution and shared lives.
I hope that you will find the therapeutic help you need to find peace and comfort. Then your memories might take a welcome positive turn.
May you have happiness and the causes of happiness.
Chris
