 So grateful, my brother and I have a great relationship 
 Lucky.  My brother hates me.  
 we didn't get along for a long time

give it time 
 Back in high school, my brother, the sporty guy with a big social circle, never had my back when I was bullied. I reached out for support once, but he didn't pitch in. I've always been kind to him, yet he seems to harbor some strong dislike towards me. 

Time hasn't done us well.  
 That's to his shame if he didnt have his own brothers back. 
 💔 
 I had a similar relationship with my brother, and we made peace

I pray you and your brother find peace

 Curate your family. My brother and I haven’t associated for decades. We disliked each other from a very young age and our relationship got worse until it broke with death threats. Fail fast friend. 💜

 Precious gift. We tell our kids that their siblings can be built-in friends for life, if they are only friendly toward them. "Blood is thicker than water."
