6. My only living blood relative, my brother. We haven't spoken in four years.

Spent our young lives pretty much using every Indian burn, bowling ball, fish hook, boogies and wiping boogers on my.

My whole life, I was told, that’s what brothers do, you are such a victim, just ignore him.

A few years ago, I called him out. Asked people we had dinner with if their brother did such things. No no no were the answers.

When we moved to Costa Rica the last thing he said was, “You won’t last. You don’t have the fortitude.” That was it. I haven’t spoken to him since.

NOW… that I’m FINALLY over it…. People say…”Give him one more chance”.

Nope nope nope.
