Dear Amy: Our entire childhood, my mom consistently used my own achievements to push my brother to be better.
I wouldn’t trade my life and the strong bond I have with my kids and their son over all the money he has, but how can I change the dynamic?At this point, I am considering cutting him off completely.Imagine how it would feel to be told that you are never “enough.” This is the script that your mother wrote for your brother.
You could try telling him, “I know that Mom always set us up in a competition. I can only imagine what it was like for you. But I think she would be really proud of your success. I hope that you don’t feel like you have anything left to prove.”I am 76 years old. My husband passed away eight years ago.I left a small town where I lived for 58 years, a church I loved, and many friends. Two of my grandchildren are now in college.
I am active in my church here and have a few friends, but I still pine for my hometown. I taught school there for 34 years, then took care of my parents and my husband.
