I grew up with a closeted homosexual brother and his conflict caused him to be really mean. He was also the best friend I ever had. But I never forgave him, I repressed my anger and hate. It festered in my subconscious mind and eventually made its way to the surface in my adult years and just about destroyed me.
What do I feel about him now? How can I forgive anybody when I’m so damaged to be practically not present?
Anybody here have siblings you really hated?
My brother knows nothing about this. I spent time with him over the holidays. And he is a different, better person now.
My advice is to forgive because the hatred can destroy you.
