My first wife was a beautiful young woman refugee from Russia. Originally my younger Brother dated her before he came out. For years it was a source of friction between my brother and I, he acted like I stole her. But in reality he wasn't interested. I thought that this was the basis for our strife. We went into business together and that was a war.

Now many years later I realize after running many businesses, that I have had an iron-fist on the way I do things and it has led to me not getting out of my own way.

I was brought up as the eldest in a large family, I was always told be my parents I had to be responsible for all my siblings. Of course that meant that my brother felt stifled by his middle position in a family of 5 siblings! And that is the key to our discord.

Even knowing this to this day, we still fall into the same stances whenever there is a family situation.
