Hey, Soggycereal, no subject too small. Besides, this is your journey thread.
We get it about feeling snappy at family members. Our body age is 56; one brother (B1) is 54 and has a wife and two teenage daughters. They live four hours away from us. Our other brother (B2) is mildly disabled and is about to turn 50. He has a full-time clerical job and lives by himself in an apartment about 20 minutes from us. The apartment's tiny and a dump, but he likes his independence.
We get very frustrated at B2 sometimes. He has at least average intelligence, but his thought processes and his short-term memory are not what they should be. Oftentimes we wish that B1 lived closer so that he could take a more active role in guiding B2. They do talk on the phone regularly, but to us/MDs it doesn't seem like enough. It's hard enough dealing with our own issues without having to deal with B2's issues on top of this.
We don't want to hijack your thread. But we wanted you to know that we hear you and identify.
