Sar - is this deal about your brother being "scared" and not being able to "deal" with you his words or yours? I do pretty well with all of my 4 siblings maybe because we don't see that much of each other and don't try to interfere with one another's lives. When we do get together we can rally around common ground subjects, like how awful my father can be. I do have one brother who drinks alot. I'm not scared to be around him but it does sometimes make me feel very sad and somewhat exasperated, because he's so much better company when he's sober - I just don't like to see the transformation. Maybe your brother thinks you're harming yourself and doesn't want to witness it.
(or maybe as you suggest he's just so buttoned up that he can't appreciate a free spirit)Why do you think things have changed with your sister?
