So sorry to learn this about your brother. We will never know the actual harms done over the past centuries by their meds. Had them all, dutiful parents, left many problems with us kids. God bless you and yours.

thank you. unfortunately my relationship with my brother is complicated. he's really smart but emotionally "off" and doesn't talk to the family much but he finally talked to me via text about a month ago, bavk and forth a little, then dropped off the facevof the earth again. i hope its not the last i talk to him, but it might be. he stopped answering my texts for mo reason, but that's characteristic. he's married, no kids. i think it'd been 10 years, then i saw him at our uncle's funeral, then another 3 years. after our parents died in '08 he stopped talking to all of us siblings. don't know why i just told you all that, lol, but yeah...kinda sucks.
