I was just thinking that change is always possible. My brother was the one to distract himself and escape, and I was the more responsible one. Yet somehow, he has stepped forward and I have stepped back. And the same thing is happening in my marriage...I'm taking more of a back role and my H is handling things more maturely. I have gotten a lot of ego needs met by being the one in control, and I had a tendency to look down on my brother and my H as being childish. How cool for everyone that we've made some shifts and are learning and growing.

Choc, if you are reading, please see that it is NEVER too late for change.
