Relationship Stragies Check Point 5

In my life I have a brother, and his name his Douglas Smith. I love my youngest brother with all my heart, and we were raised to do so. He has always had a problem with me, and I could never understand why we couldn’t get along, and we never would fight or say mean things it was just the attitudes and slight remarks here and there from the both of us. We are both in our forty’s, and still was not communicating the way brother and sister should, so I picked up my phone about two years ago, and starting making connections, and taking is slow.

In the relationship that I have with my youngest brother, one has to use strategies such as picking up the phone to make contact with him because our love for one another is poorly, and needs work. I always use to wait for him to call me or even come down and visit when he is travelling through town. We were brought up to love one another, but because of my life style we had separate love towards one another.

I started taking time out to go visit him, because I do love my brother, and I made sure to call every other day to see how his day was, and to tell him I love him. I did this for the past two years, and now he picks up the phone to check in on me, and to also tell me he loves me. I found that taking the bigger step and using a daily routine to keep contact with him, and using words of kindness, and not mention the past, but keep talking about the future on visit, phone calls, and making time out to have brother and sister day. In doing this it has helped me to see, and him also that love is important to have in the family, and taking things one day at a time will keep making the process work, and gain accomplishment.
