The family dynamics where there is one deaf child withseveral hearing siblings is a tricky situation.  In all families where one child has any kind of a disability affects the way that sibs interact with each other, withthe diabled child, and with their parents.  From what you ahve described, it is quite possible that your brother feels that you received more attention and time from your parents than was given him, and therefore, has buried resentment since childhood.  This is not unusual at all, as many children with a disabled sibling feel this way.  The problems occur when a person carries that childish feeling over into adulthood.  Theray will get to the root of the problem, and teach him that childish perceptions of the way things were do not serve him well in adulthood.  He has some growing up to do.
