    @sillykcat Thank you for sharing! I understand your pain. Parents really don't understand how important sibling relationships are and how much they should nuture them. My brothers and I only really have each other and yet we fight and don't speak constantly. It breaks my heart but there is nothing I can do. They have to want to make an effort just as much as me and that isn't happening so I have to move on. I am responsible for my own happiness.

    I havnt spoken with my brother in 3 years and I

    Havnt seen him since I was 10 I'm almost 15 he's graduating

    Next year I feel like I've missed out on a big part of his life

    And we just started speaking a few days ago and it still hurts

    He said he can't look at pics of me cause I look to much like him

    And it hurts him cause well he was put up for adoption but never

    Told he was until he was about 14 or 15 or so he is now

    I am glad that you see that. Big brothers are really special. I have a little brother also but he is kinda in this weird defiant stage. I feel like my big brother saw me as an obligation and not his friend. Sibling relationships are stronger then friendships. Think about the depths we would go to for our siblings. There are few stronger bonds. There is a new movie coming out I can't wait to see called "Conviction". I would do the same thing for my brothers with out second guessing. I am just not sure they would do the same for me.

    Having four little brothers, your story really hit home for me. I've done the college thing and most likely none of them will ever get to so I try to include them in my life wherever I can so they don't feel left out. Your relationship with your brother might never be the same as it was but your story can be a motivator to remind big brothers everywhere that there are always little eyes watching us.
