PV06, you reminded me that I have a confession.
I can not stand to be around my older brother. He is a USER. Everytime I come in contact with him, literally, he leaves with something of mines, money, stuff from my house, stuff out of my car. He NEVER gives me anything. Just takes. I try to live my life by Biblical principles the very best that I can. He manipulates that to try to extort more stuff from me. I think he hates me but feels like I owe him something. Recently I reached my final breaking point. He lived with me rent and expense free for 5 months. I helped him move out. I loaned him my tv. When I went to ask for it back, he starts dodging me and talking major trash. I finally got my television back after an extremely nasty exchange and cut ties with him.
I need to learn to balance forgiveness with distance. You can love people from afar.
