[quote=Anonymous]I also cut off my brother once I had kids because his mental illness and alcoholism were too violent and unpredictable to be around, and also because the mental energy involved in being in this orbit was very, very draining -- his "crisis" became the only thing my parents could focus on for two decades. I have no regrets because my kids have had a peaceful, happy childhood and we can all thrive. sadly, my brother passed away from liver failure. I deeply wish his life had gone differently, but I don't see how I could have stayed in his orbit safely. no regrets, lots of sadness.[/quote]
