[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some people and, especially men, can't deal with death.  He doesn't want the pain of knowing and losing your son.

But also some people just suck. My brother hasn't ever visited me in 40 years and he didn't attend my wedding. [/quote]

Op here. The diagnosis for my kid is new, though. But this dynamic didn’t just start. It’s been going on for years.

I know it’s not unusual for siblings to have limited or no relationship. I guess what I can’t reconcile is that he does call me often and it feels as if we DO have a close relationship. Except when I try to actually see him.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad we are able to talk on the phone. I just wish it could be more.

I love talking with my brother but his ADHD is so bad that it's like drinking from a firehose when I'm around him. He paces, he loud talks, and he knows everything. I much prefer him in smaller doses.[/quote]

OP here. Ok. Glad you've found what works for you and your sibling. [/quote]
