It took me years to understand why my brother didn't support me through my breast cancer and treatments. He simply couldn't cope, having lost our mother to the same disease.

He is still my brother and I have to allow him to feel the way he does and to act the way he does, even when it hurts me. He is not a bad man but he is not infallible. Forgive your brother - these men are often weaker than we want them to be and that's okay. xxx
