I have an older brother who had severed ties with the family; won't talk to our parents; angry; divorced; feels that Northwest Airlines screwed him and co-workers; I could go on and on. He's middle boy of three (I'm the youngest). Things got so bad one year that my parents split up Christmas between the two older boys, as the middle one's wife is also a total snot and looks down her nose at oldest brother's wife for some unknown reason. I've only seen my brother twice since maybe 1996 and the last time, I didn't even recognize him. He's very hateful and angry, not to mention that **** hit the fan when oldest brother introduced me to his new wife (middle one got remarried). I suppose he's even mad because our parents didn't come to his remarriage or congratulate him (we knew nothing about it). Go figure. I feel, let the devil be mad, so I say that about your brother. Offer to give him your deafness and switch, see what he says. Bet he won't see the world through rose colored glasses anymore.
