[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 330287, member: 47"] If it were me, I would let sleeping dogs lie until such time your son is much much older and not to mention in a much better emotional place. There is some heavy duty stuff you have mentioned re your brother/mother and why does he need to know that right now? I think it would really be stepping over boundaries to be sharing this stuff with him at this point in time to work thru your issues together. Is he going to "get it", absolutely not despite the little spurts that he shows of some emotional growth. Next time he says "you have issues too", say your right, and am working hard on fixing them. Klmno,its commendable that you are wanting to sort thru your issues. Being much older than you, and a difficult child when younger, from one of the most dysfunctional families on the planet, its really a life long process of dealing with stuff and recognizing healthy actions and reactions from unhealthy actions and reactions. I have learned a lot from self help books but there comes some times I need an adult, i.e. therapist, to sort thru some of the garbage that floats to the surface when I have done too much digging on my own.
