[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]When I saw the title, I thought it was a bout a brother with addiction/mental health issues that was on his way to rock bottom. [/b] Wrong!  It's about a sister and mother who are hurt that he doesn't communicate with them as much as they'd like. First, you cannot manage your mother's relationship with your brother.  Why you would lie about how often you speak with him, I have no idea.  I suspect it's because you still seek her approval.  Perhaps your brother got sick of trying to please her and just wants to do his own thing.  He's young and is building his own family - and unless your parents had you both late in life, they aren't THAT old.

I don't know what kind of relationship your brother wants with you but you could start by talking to him and finding out what he's comfortable with  I suggest you not try and guilt him.  There's little that drives a person away more than a guilt trip.[/quote]

That is what I thought, too, and since that describes my brother I was looking forward to constructive comments. [/quote]
