I was 5yrs when we moved to family farm. My brother moved to another province to work (play) for 8yrs at a holiday resort guiding horseback tours. At 14yrs, I was throwen into the hired hands group (unpaid). Brother married an Eastern Lady moved home to farm. At this point I was given the boot, discluded from everything (he even sold my horse behind my back). His wife moved back East, so he followed. Now his cows are leased out, my father farms organically, I now have two kids; and am being asked if I'll be around for harvest. All of a sudden it's a good idea for me to move the kids to the farm house. I don't have to pay rent, just the utilities ( farm houses really deteriot fast with noone living in them). Brother "thinks" he'll be back in 5 or 6yrs, once boys "can say where they would like to live". What should I do? I love the farm, but it tore my heart apart once. I've thought about it at least once a day for 15yrs with bittersweet feelings I want it but I don't.
