He also did the same to me all my life but I of course could not let it go and I did retaliate right through until now I never ever see him nor do I want to because his final verbal outburst was fatal to any remnants of a relationship we had as brother and sister and I ended any contact with him.

Luckily my two have never bickered. Your pacafist brother sounds the stronger of the two but I suspect the more aggressive one considered him to be weak.<br /><br />My oldest brother rattled my dad with his intelligence ( though my dad was a well educated man he was also a military man ) I think dad had more respect for the brother who lashed out in temper & thumped him !!!

I agree with you; being out there in the cold and rain does not sound appealing; snow was always so much better to be in, even if it was freezing out. I do hope whatever the outcome of the game it is a fair played game with no injuries and no sicknesses as a result of being out in that terrible weather and that the outcome is a merciful one for you.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-35179285586275112102015-11-27T22:14:34.647-05:002015-11-27T22:14:34.647-05:00I have one son who is the world's worst pessim...I have one son who is the world's worst pessimist.
