Keep after him, keep telling him you love him and don't hesitate to remind him you gave up a vital organ for him so THE LEAST HE CAN DO IS BE YOUR FRIEND!!! Jeebus.

I think his behavior sucks but then I read about how you transcend that and seem stronger and stronger and ... I don't know how you do it.

However, I, too believe that you should continue to periodically reach out to your brother but NOT allow it to consume you and trouble you. You did an amazing thing by offering up a kidney - it is his now responsibility to do with the kidney and the relationship what he chooses. However, you too can choose what you want to do regarding the relationship. Maybe if he sees you reaching out from time to time he will see that someone does care and get the help he so desperately needs. Don't let this get the best of you. Unfortunately, we can't control everything as much as we'd like to. You're a good person - I know you will do the best you can in this situation.

I just have a sister that sucks the life out of me if I let her. I have basically let her go. I still call her and check on her, remember her at the holidays, pray for her, keep in touch with her kids etc. But there came a day when I had to think about me and what she was doing to me and my health and I finally decided that she doesn't care about herself and why should I be not sleeping well at nights, why should I be sick to my stomach, why should I continue to be hurt while she just goes on with her life not caring what she does to others. So that is the history behind my comment, FORGET YOUR BROTHER. I don't want you to let him affect your life. You are trying to reach out to him and no response. Keep inviting him from time to time, but don't let him affect you. You have so much going on in your life that you don't need him to pull you down. I could go on, but I think you get the idea. The part of my comment that I stick by the most is the I LOVE YOU comment. :-) <BR/>I cannot wait to do the muddy buddy with you guys.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490274518809587487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754153629453622805.post-77977888203027017642008-12-03T21:03:00.000-08:002008-12-03T21:03:00.000-08:00M.

I have no idea, but watching movies seems so much better than watching TV. Though I too Tivo way too much stuff considering just 6 months ago I didn't even have a TV (just a hand me down Tivo with a life time subscription).<BR/><BR/>Sucks about your kidney bro. Some people never change, unless they want to. Hard for the rest of us to handle, but you did a good thing and your good thing can't change him.
