(1 post)I have never responded on this site before, but have read comments for years. However your situation forced me to respond. I am the youngest of 7 kids - I am now in my advanced 60's. I was raised in a fundamentalist family but that is well in the past. Your response to your brother was rational and tempered - I would not have responded to him if he was my brother. When my son died a couple of years ago, none of my siblings called me or talked to me. Only one sister-in-law was kind and civil enough to actually call me. I divorced my entire family, all of them fundamentalist bigots, after my Mother passed away at the young age of 100+. I have never been happier - we have nothing in common except for genetic material and past history. My collected friends over the years are my real family - supportive, intelligent, loving.
