Yes I did when I was about 15 and my brother was 17, he left because he could no live under the roof of a dictatorial abusive man anymore. I cried that night because he left me to with no one but the abuse and kids that were not my kin. I cry now remembering it, I folded his shirts so carefully, with tears running down my checks - no one else cared - they were glad to be rid of him for they called him a trouble maker but it wasn't him that caused the trouble.

Your post makes me so sad. As one from a dysfunctional alcoholic family I understand why siblings need to move on for themselves even if it means leaving loved ones behind. Biggerred You are right “this has NOthing to do with you”. Your brother has his own demons to battle because of the home life that you are still living. For some to heal they have to remove themselves completely from the “war zone” and that includes leaving behind others that are hurting. Give him time and I hope that you two will be able to have a healthy relationship in the future. Let him have his distance and also let him know that you love him and will be there to talk when he is ready. Take care.

Aren't I the sentimental idiot crying over something that happened about 45 yrs ago
The family that I was raised in was a 'religious' disfunctional place - if we didn't think like they did we got beaten or if we didn't pray like we "should" we were beaten. Yes it was a disfunctional home and when I got out of there I vowed my kids would know the reason when I said "NO" and by cracky they did know. I turned out to be a damn good mother and my daughter is even a better mother than I am.
