I have (hade) a love hate relationship with my half brother for over 25 years. I have put an end to it last year (for the last time-3rd in 25 years). When it's time to throw out the "garbage" it's time to throw out the "garbage".
Will never take crap from him again!
My moto is : if you can't fix it get rid of it!
Life is to short to endure somebody else's S**T.
It's not over till the fat lady sings, she as song
At 44, I do not accept any "crap" (dishonesty, hypocracy, agression, manipulation etc etc etc) from anybody anymore, now I do understand old folks
It's good to clean-up one's closet once (dare I say) a day
