i'm happy to know that my brother will be sent by his company to japan for a 3 months training..
but what made me sad is he's going there and our issues isn't settled yet..i miss him..our closeness with each other..and it was ruined because of his issues on me not getting a job yet..he failed to understand my situation and just labeled me as lazy..
he's lucky he didn't have a hard time looking for a job since he graduated with honors..and i'm just an average graduate..
so from that moment on, there's always a gap between us..and we rarely talk in a week..

You describe a very sad situation. I know in one way you are glad for your brother's success. But it is difficult for you since you have not been able to secure employment yet. Be patient.. you will find something. don't give up and don't get discouraged! You can do it!

Maybe while he is gone you will get a job. This way when he gets home he can be proud of you and you can be close again. I hope that is what happens for you!
I know how it feels to miss closeness with a sibling, I feel the same way.

My sincerest sorrow for you! To me, there is nothing familial, that should not be able to be talked out! Maybe, just maybe "if you reach out to him," and appeal to your past closeness...that it would break your heart for him to be away...and not have this rift between you and he could be mended! Tell him that you are so very proud of him, and given a chance you will make him proud of you, too! I wish you the best, but I truly would make an effort to mend these fences...it will give both you and he peace!

That is quite sad- you shouldn't let him leave before having heart to heat talk and letting him know your side. If you don't , you'll definitely regret it and that gap between you might even become wider.God luck.

I'm sorry to hear about this. Me and my sister have an issue as well and it has been going on for almost two years now. I don't hope for us to patch things up because right now she made things more complicated and our issues are way more difficult than yours.
I hope though that when your brother returns you would be able to talk to each other and be close once more.
