Just what I needed. It smacks against the negativity against me in my home where I had promised to take care of my Mom, and my brother is in the way. My Mom loves him more than me but I promised her that I would take care of her, and I will keep my word. My Mom and brother were long time alcoholics stopping abruptly when he was admitted in a behavioral mental hospital after he hit me several times in the head in a drunken rage and I called the police to take him away. They told my Mom and I to get rid of all the alcohol in the house. The next day, I confirmed that’s what she wanted to do and she agreed. She quit cold turkey before I was able to donate the wine and liquor to a charity who picked it all up and gave us a detailed receipt. Without their alcohol to sooth their nerves, these two people often say really mean half-truths which I’ll believe because I know a part is true therefore I should accept the rest. But in fact, none of its real true. My brother says I do nothing around the house. That’s not true. He discounts what I do; that doesn’t mean it’s not valuable. He benefits from everything I do. I do not from all of his work. And that’s true. I loved what you said here. I’m keeping this one bookmarked. Thank you so much. Blessings to you and all on this journey. Warmly, Anne
