I was browsing around online and I came across something. It was from a woman and it really struck a chord with me.
It was a writing piece from a lady, pinned to her brother. Her younger brother.
Where she loved him growing up and got on well with him in early adulthood. Then, things changed.
I don't know if I can copy and paste from another website.
Anyways basically, the brother met a woman and he was slowly pulled away from the sister and the rest of the family. They very rarely see each other now and when they do, he is always picking fights. This is a quote from the piece:
Tonight I saw your partner exchange glances with you after I said something. The two of you talk about me like I am someone that you can’t stand. You have no interest in what’s going on in my life.
All of this struck a chord with me. I have a younger brother and over the past 18 months or so, our relationship had turned to nothing. He doesn't ask about me, I am restricted on Facebook, I was sick recently and fell down in front of him and he didn't even ask me how I was. There's so much more as well. My brother is overly critical where he never was before. He used to be a positive person. I bumped into my brother and the girlfriend coming around a corner and the pair of them laughed. What was so funny exactly.
Friday night there was a pressing family matter where me and our mother were talking. He came into the kitchen to get on board of what was happening and I was explaining the situation. The man appeared to be severely put out having to stay in the kitchen for more than a minute and to shock horror, talk. He couldn't even stand to be around me for that minute or two before he fled the room.
My brother is a completely different person.
Had this happened to anyone else. Where things went south for no reason.
