[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 79976, member: 2211"] You know, gradually after difficult child's behaviors become unmanageable or incomprehensible for easy child, we had have many discussions about how family is family and that H and I would not be around forever and the two of them would be left with each other as the only family they have. I hated to say stuff like that, but it's true. After I grew up and became less self centered, I really began appreciating the presence of siblings in my life. I am closest with my older sister, who is 17 years my senior! Never, as a teen or young adult did I ever imagine that we'd be close - but we speak nearly every day and she lives about a 12 hour drive from me. My mom, despite all her flaws, always stressed the importance of 'family'. Even my sister who I can't stand...I would be there for her in a minute and vice versa. I think it's wise of you to tolerate nothing less than at least civility between the two brothers. It is YOUR home, after all and younger ds is a minor. At least 22ds can leave and go live on his own if he's that miserable around his younger brother. Jeesh. [/QUOTE]
