[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, is your brother the only person you have problems with? If you find that you have a number of unhappy and/or unsatisfying relationships or relationships that end badly, than you may need to examine what you contribute to the issue. Not saying it's your fault, just saying your description did not show any insight into your part. Are you missing social cues too or is it just him? Is he just plain evil and if so, why the desire to continue a relationship? The one thing that strikes me most about your post is you make yourself sound angelic and you make him sound like an irrational nut. If you want a relationship then he must have some great qualities you have not shared. Plus you are asking us to side with you by asking "does anyone think this is normal?" Sure what you describe sounds awful, but what his side? What would he tell us? Regardless, when you see him be civil and polite. If he is as awful as you seem to think he is I don't understand why you would want your kids to be close to him. [/quote] No I don't have unhappy or unsatisfying relationships with anyone else. Or relationships that end badly. I am torn as to whether I really want to have a relationship with him and that is entirely because he is my brother and I guess I feel I should. Also he has a child and it feels bad to keep my children and his child from having a relationship with their cousins. I don't want to get into the full details of everything that has transpired with him because 1) it would take too long 2) it would be boring and probably raise more questions and 3) I don't want to air everything on the (anonymous) internet. But suffice to say that he actually used to be worse and has got some what better. As a teenager and young adult it seemed like he was most likely mentally ill. Now I'm not so sure and some how my parents think he's "normal". I'm not sure that he's mentally ill (he's never been diagnosed with anything, but he's never been assessed either) or just very difficult to deal with. He can be extremely charming at times but he also had problems like the ones he has with me in all parts of his life. E.g. he does not stay in jobs very long and his wife says that living with him is like living with another child (he is also extremely rude to his wife in public, which is really embarrassing and shocking to see).[/quote]
