[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. This was the case for my sibling and I growing up and it never changed into adulthood. Heavy mental health issues for my sibling (that they have a handle on, but it's constant work), career change was very difficult to pull off and ended up in a terrible accident and while they fully recovered physically, it's hard to shake. Thank goodness drugs and alcohol never entered the picture because it would have made everything so much worse. I fell uphill, my whole life, married for love, healthy kids, a career that pays well and I enjoy. I just try to be a battery charger with my sibling and not add to their bad luck. But you never know, I know plenty of people who's luck turned around later in life. It's random and unfair. [/quote]

This is very similar to me and my older brother. (I’m younger sister). In hindsight, his “bad luck,” can really be linked to serious mental health issues that started in his 20s, creating cascading problems, unemployment, money problems, drugs/alcohol issues, being alone, having to care for our elderly parents…. By contrast, I have it all. Good marriage, great kids, a career even if it doesn’t pay that well and is meh… knock on wood, health.. better money decisions that have created real wealth. We fight a lot, but I really do want the best for him. He has found love at 52, with someone more than two decades younger (ugh).[/quote]
