I had the recurring blowup with my brother today--same old arguments and the only escape is for me is to hop on the bike and retreat to a restaurant so I can stay out of the Texas heat and so he can cool down his temper. He wouldn't have to say, "I'm sorry," so frequently if he could learn to control his temper and stop obsessing over things that cannot be changed or mitigated.
The realtor stopped by today and took pictures of my deceased father's house where we both live. Hopefully it will sell or at least have some strong nibbles by the end of October; otherwise, foreclosure becomes a distinct possibility. It's sad because the house is over 80% paid, but he is driving me insane with the constant barrage of hatred for my screwups from 10 to 20 years ago. The atmosphere among us and two of my three sisters is toxic.
Remember that they are your parents and by nature will be over-protective.
