My older brother and I used to be close growing up, but as the years have gone by and since we have both married, we have grown apart.
Just recently he moved back to this country with his young family and My husband and I caught up with them.
I found him to be very aloof and strange, and very, very distant. It hurt me a lot... He has shared some things with my mum, one of them being his concern for his 11 year old daughter. To me, she is perfect(and probably is) but to him she is rebellious. She is restricted in a lot of ways socially - not allowed to bring friends home, have birthday parties, must dress in a certain way etc.She is very shy and I see a lot of myself in her.. But then he said something
something very strange to my mother the other day which got me thinking. He said, "I always remember _ _ _ _ _ (me) in this photo where I am wearing a blue dress. I was so sweet and so innocent. And then he said"Why do we have to grow up?Is he referring to his own daughter?
