I've fallen out with at least one of my siblings and also had fallen out with my dad. Our storie/s did not catch the attention of the press.
What people should remember is family has its ups and downs as is life.
People should never gloat when they see, hear and or read about a family of any status falling out etc and try to pour fuel onto the fire.
As human, I find it very easy to guide/advise people when they have problems and problems with their family/friends. However, when it involves myself, everything that I tell others goes out of the window. After all I'm just human and as we know that blood is thicker than water so when I feel wronged (rightly or wrongly so) for whatever silly reason I feel as though I've done nothing wrong and I'm owned a big apology. Sadly the minor fallout grows into something big and for me I did not get a chance to amend/etc as my sibling died young in an accident. He was only 28 and had his life before him and I regret my behaviour but it is too late for me to turn the clock back
Anyone reading this - we may think we have x amount of years to live, sort things out/etc/etc but in all honesty, we never know what's around the corner.
Though IMHO I'm an ok person, I know in my heart and have told my family that
I can be a better person by a good 99% but silly/stupid me am too old to change and typing this post is aiding me to be nicer to my family and loved ones.
Life is too short to remain upset over egos and we all need to step up and not just make our own lives happier/better but those around us.
Yes, I know it's easier said than done and there are a small minority of people that will never learn
I feel sad and depressed but most of it is my doing, my fault as possibly I'm too sensitive and take almost everything seriously and negatively. I need to chill out as my family often tells me.
Please feel free to slap me down as I deserve it and seriously and honestly I'm not looking for symphaty.
