My older brother was almost an only child. China, One Child Policy, you know… Government agents was looking for my mother to force an abortion. In a different timeline, I might not have been born.
I wonder if my older brother, being the only child in this timeline, would’ve been happier?
I’m the older brother and have two younger siblings. I love both of them. Even when they piss me off, which fortunately is pretty rare. I have a much closer relationship with my youngest brother. Something that I didn’t realize growing up is that your younger siblings kind of look up to you, even if they don’t know how to say that. If I had known that I probably would have been a little nicer to them.
As an adult, I try to make sure they know they can come to me if they need help. Sometimes I need help too and I know I can lean on them for support.
But, there are lots of people who don’t get along with their siblings for one reason or another. If your brother is unhappy, that’s not your fault. If he’s throwing away an opportunity to have a good relationship with you, then he’s a fool.
Love, not blood, is the thing that makes families and holds them together.
I wish they would have been an only child.

Maybe I really was the burden to my family?
