BUT, I DON'T WANT TO BE STRONGER!
I have had a life-time of "Making you Stronger" experiences. One of the most recent is when my multi-millionaire Twin Brother called (which is almost never) and for the very first time in my life I asked for some financial assistance and he replied with a LAUGH and said I guess we both are going to outlive our money. He also said he thought he read somewhere (Internet) a few years ago that my house was foreclosed. I can hardly believe the AUDACITY of a such a statement like that. And, to think he never even looked for me to see if I was "Living Under A Bridge" somewhere. I have lived at the same address and phone number for almost 25 years.
Not long ago, I came upon a few photos (Internet) of his estate (interior and exterior) and I could hardly believe what I was seeing!
Years ago, my husband and I were able to help him with some money? I don't think I will ever be able to understand or accept his attitude. Perhaps, it is reflective of his nearly life-time involvement with a religion (cult?) that he has devoured "hook, line and sinker". I think his basic personality is very consistent with the tenets of the religion.
I had no intentions of writing this but for some reason I felt a strong urge to do so. I guess I just had to tell my truth at this time. I am not looking for comments, perhaps positive energy for my comfort.
Happy Week to All Of You.
Mary
Sending you lots of positive thoughts and good wishes. I am sorry your brother has decided to behave in such a cruel and heartless manner. You are not sharing what cult (religion) with which he has aligned himself, but it appears to be a group that values self over society. Please do not allow this situation to make you too unhappy. Be happy dear friend Mary.
ReplyDeleteAnita, You are so kind and sweet. And, right on with "self over society". Unfortunate for him! It will take me some time to recover but I will. And, it is probably best if I sever any contact with him which should not be an issue. Afterall, he NEVER has been caring toward me or any of our family. Obviously, lots of negative dynamics in the family history. Many times, no expectations, works best for me. Thanks again dear one.
