would it be possible to ask him directly, asking him, do you have a resentment at me? if it is done quietly and gently, I have been doing that with my last few conflicts with others..i asked one man, are you angry with me, he was surprised and hurriedly replied no, why do you ask, I replied I could feel something between us, I wondered, he again replied no nothing... now I feel as if the energy between us has been cleared...

Oh the sibling thing, I can relate. My older sister drives me nuts. She does or doesn't do something revolving my kids. It's difficult when you feel your children are impacted by actions. However, I've gotten past it in a few ways. I'm really careful to pay attention to their reactions. Sometimes I'm more hurt than they are. I've also had to pick my battles and lower my expectations. For her children I would move heaven & earth and think of them constantly and include them in everything. This extends to her step children and grand children. It's not the same for my kids. My kids know that and so do I. That's who she is, her relationship is different with my kids than mine is with hers. Hopefully, they'll come visit me when I'm in an old folks home. When she's in an old folks home, she better be in the same one as me... They don't call her Rusty Nails for nothing.
Thanks for sharing, by the way.

Not much to share, mainly frustration because I SHOULD find the ambition to be creative, work on my art, play my music, get back to my writing -- but I just end up doing nothing, feeling enervated and depressed.
