Soo sorry i was hoping personally that your brother would show a little more acceptance or support! This just kills me why is it so darn hard for people to be a little open minded and be a little more accepting of things? Dang!
I'm bummed but definately think that you can work through this one, you knew going into it that there was not a high percentage of "he'll just throw his arms around me and love me"..Seriously Melissa i went through this with my big sisiter when she basically promised me all the support and love in the world and then turned around and outcast me! I hated her, i hated me, i hated everything! that was my uggliest year 1997..... Long time has gone by since then but reoccurring pain still happens.. I had a rough b-day and weekend emotionally this past weekend----BUT i have extra broad shoulders (unfortunate for me cause as a girl they make me look like a linebacker, ugggg) so if i could carry some emotional weight transfer it my way tonight i (guess i would be geographically southest from you) tonight, try and sleep and have a nice dream and dump some of that bad stuff my way I'll store it in a hole for you!
I am falling alseep here past my work week bedtime! I'll check post in am when i get up before leaving for work! concerned some here, i hope you are okay!
Cyber hug!
