Good Morning Everyone  I want to inform all of you that my own brother and I are having a Sibling Rivalry right now.  I have been telling him for years now that I am not feeling well!  He is ignoring me!  My brother and I are in need of Pastoral Counseling for the rest of our lives.  I am too old to play with him.  There are times when I just want to be alone with God!  My brother and I love each other.   There are times when an adult cannot revert back to their own childhood.  We all were deprived of our opportunity to become a child.  You see all of us were latch key children.  Everyone of my siblings and there own children are Adult Children of Alcoholics.   All of us had to fulfill our own adult roles as children just to survive inside of the Inner City of Dayton, Ohio.   Sometimes growing up too fast can affect the way we progress as adults later in life.  This is the reason why there are unresolved issues in the entire family systems
This is affecting every last one of us.  In the Apostle Paul writing to the Church of Corinth, he said I was a child, I thought and acted like a child, and as soon as I have become an adult, I put away childish things.  This is in 1st Corinthians 13:11.  There are periods when I overreact to negative stimuli.  I have learned earlier in my childhood by my grandparents to play outside with my friends.   I have learned structure at an early age.  My grandparents house was always my sanctuary.  A Safe Place and a shelter from the wickedness of society itself.  My relatives did not have an opportunity to seek shelter from the social ills of society. I will always love all of my family members, it is that my grandparents didn’t play this mess.  Sibling Rivalry did not exist in my grandparents house.   This is the reason why I am more relaxed right now than 28 years ago.  I have been spending a lot of time by myself.
