No, my brother and I have never talked about it. I think to him this just seems like something normal because this is how he has been treated his whole life. I don't think he gets it. I remember even as a kid, my father trying to get me to do his homework for him. I wouldn't want anything at this point anyway. As far as I'm concerned he can have it all, but he needs to take care of it himself. It's just so hard, I do love my amom, but sometimes I want absolutely nothing to do with her. It's just such a dysfunctional situation. When I do visit, I feel like I am putting on an act the whole time, like everything is wonderful, when I am actually very bitter. Sometimes I think it would be healthier for me to not bother with them at all, but I don't think I could be that cruel. Not to mention the fact that we live in the same town and she is really big on guilt trips.
