Hi - We haven't met but I recognise a fellow "sensitive soul" when I come across one!!!! I guess we're all "sensitive souls" right now and need to vent.
I wasn't able to download my quit meter when I first came to this site, so I usually just add my "score card" at the bottom of a post - but forgot to do so when I replied to your post!!!
I generally just read how everyone is getting on without posting much but, for some reason, your post struck a chord and I wanted to add my two-penny worth!!
I'm delighted you feel a little more "cool" about your brother and things in general. I am currently in a fug and feel as though there are lots of things going on in my mind that I would rather not have to consider, because now they will need to be dealt with. In this respect, I can relate to many of Lady's posts and also to Rob47.
I know I'll get through all this, eventually - I guess it will be on a Tuesday!! Until then, I keep on keeping on, trusting the words of all those who have gone before.
Keep your chin up and a smile on your lips and I will too -

My Quit Date: 14.02.06 (nearly seven months!!)
jiI'm glad your feelings about your brother have normalized to some extent, maybe you recognise that he usually . I do know how it is to be on the receiving end of greturned - have returned (if only temporarily)
