3. Mean in a different way

Jul 2020

I have an older brother who used to exclude me from things.
The last time I saw him, my father, and other brother was a Christmas holiday. They went out Christmas morning and excluded me. No joke.
I was so hurt. It took a long time to process what happened, about how this was just like so many other things in the past. After six months, I cut off all contact with them. That was 15 years ago and I don't regret it. I just didn't fit in that family and that older brother made sure I knew that. The other two didn't care.
