Im the oldest of three brothers.

Me and the youngest brother are pretty tight. Which hasn't always been the case. There was an eleven year gap between us so it was pretty touch and go growing up. When I moved back in with the parents briefly just as he was getting out of highschool, we started getting along a lot better and we ended up forming a really solid relationship. I'm really proud of the man he's grown into.

The middle brother... Well, it would be easy to say that he found religion and we drifted apart... But my youngest brother also found religion and that didn't mess our relationship up at all (Im agnostic leabing towards atheism)

The middle brother just .. isn't interested in figuring out how to be friendly. My youngest brother and I can disagree about stuff and be fine with it, but middle brother dige his heels in and can't ever find a way around it. So 1 out of 2 isn't too bad, honestly. I leave the lines of communication open for the middle brother, and every now and then we have a fun conversation. But that's about it.
