Hi HyperFocus,
It really seams like you are making honest & caring effort to repair & establish a relationship with your younger brother. I have 2 teen age boys, with very different personalities & styles that are 6 years apart. They bicker & criticize each other every day. They both are unhappy with each other. I try to maintain peace & civility (thanks Dr. Bob :)) in our home but it is tough. I hope when they are adults they will be friends.

I really applaud your efforts. Don't be hard on yourself for the past but do your best to move on in building this relationship. It might take time. I think you are right in some ways about "the strong family base" making people resilient, but some of that comes just from will & desire too, as well as having positive, good friends.

hang in there,
surfergirl
