Does it ever get any easier? <br /> I don't know if its jealousy or what, but my brother has been and is still the problem. He always has something to say about what everyone is doing. When one of us, siblings, put him in his place Mom comes to the rescue and covers for him. Understand we are all adults and have spouses and families. Mom and I are just talking<br />again after one of these incidents. She's trying to be the fixer again and I'm telling her to not get involved. My brother needs to be accountable for his hurtful words and she can't fix this. If I want to distance myself from him its my business. <br /> My question... does it get any easier? I'm going on 40 and I don't plan on my next 40 years putting up with his crappy opinions. I haven't spoken to the brother in question since before the new year and have no desire to yet, if ever. I know this puts a strain on the family functions.<br /> How does this get any easier? What do you all do?<br />Bassy
