[quote=Anonymous]Op, I realize it's not always helpful to get this suggestion, but I'd suggest a therapist with experience in family issues. If only to work through your own feelings about all this. You clearly still very much want a relationship with your brother, but are sick of holding the rope. I'm not exactly sure how I'd deal with this, but I certainly think working on making peace your relationship will never change from what it is right now, is really important. You can't MAKE him do better. I think if you still share some affection, letting him know that you are taking some steps back, because you are tired from feeling hurt over the years, may be good. Maybe he won't respond again, which might sting. But it would also give you some good clarity that this isn't a relationship that's adding love and happiness to your life.[/quote]
