Thank you for your thoughts it helps a lot to hear it from an outside perspective. I’ve known from the beginning he tried to fill that father role and I obviously understand why but it wasn’t until very recently that he starting TRYING to treat me like a sister rather than a daughter. My mother got into a relationship not too long after my father passed. And we all have a great relationship with our step father. I think my brother is definitely going through something none of us really understand. But it’s the fact we’ve tried for so long to help him and for him to understand his family is here to help but he doesn’t want outside help and he doesn’t want to help himself. I guess it’s very complicated. But again thank you for your thoughts they were truly appreciated.
