I have similar issues with my crazy Fundy brother so I know the "top of my head is going to blow off" feeling. We barely speak but, yes, I still love him. I wish things could be different but he is what he is.

No one can frustrate us more than family. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Good on you for trying but it's not worth your health.
