i had a nice long talk with my brother today about how our childhoods screwed us up. he's in love with a great woman and is afraid our crappy childhoods of never feelling adequate will cause him to unintentionally fuck everything up. it's a really long story, but i came to a decision for the both of us which is this, we don't have to be "our parents children" forever. we can one day, like today, be our own adults and close the door on crappy childhoods.
