The great thing about this list is that we can laugh at each other. And cry with each other. I understand the need for the explosion and I understand the anger. When my father died five years ago, I had two brothers standing in my kitchen threatening to beat me up and to sue me over an insurance check that they thought I should share with them even though it had been daddy's directive that that money come to me. To this date, I have two brothers that will not talk to me and another that only calls once a year. I do sympathize. Becky
Becky, Perhaps this will sound a little callous, but I have always felt that just because you are related to some one doesn't mean you have to like that person. I know it hurts you that your brothers are so greedy and inconsiderate; but you really don't need that type of attitude/chaos present in your life. If they never see the big picture because of their greediness, and they never apologize for treating you so poorly, then it is their loss. You can still continue loving them (because they are - after all - your brothers), just from a distance. Love is funny that way. You can love them whether they are standing next to you, or 1000 miles away. It is the same love, given in the same manner. I'm glad you stood your ground.
