I am one of eight children; ask any one of us about growing up and you will get eight different stories and with eight different reactions.
True in my family of 4 kids as well. Oldest, my only brother could do no wrong in my mother's eyes and harmed him as a result. He did sort of get his act together after significant challenges and a wonderful second wife. My mother apologized for being so hard on me as the first daughter in her mid 70's. I agree that making my own way was both a benefit and motivator to me now. I have no regrets.
I am with Cath and Happy stuff about the 'better way' and have chosen that route all my life. I am responsible for my thinking, choices and behaviour.
