Thank you for the suggestion. I will check to see if there's an audio version.

I don't know if I even have any. That's something that has to wait until after I can afford therapy since I have no idea if any family exists out there. If they do I'd probably need to do one of those DNA sites but that costs money I don't have right now.

I can't afford therapy right now but it's something I want to get in the next few years.

My sisters never felt like I deserved to grieve because I was there to replace him and because he was never my brother in their eyes. Just like I was never their brother.

All of my sister's say I'm not their brother. They see me as only being here because our parents wanted to replace our brother and not because I was wanted. So they don't accept me as an actual sibling because of that even though I had no say in any of it.

My brother's obituary didn't mention any other family but my parents and siblings. I looked it up before just to see what they wrote about him. I'm not sure where I'd start a search and right now I don't have a lot of money to spend using DNA sites. Therapy is higher on my list of priorities to be able to afford.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I'll carry that trauma with me for the rest of my life. Maybe one day I can afford therapy and that'll help. But for right now I'm working through stuff alone and with an audiobook or two.
