My brother contacted me this weekend.
Four years of silence.
During those years I was told that he was the enemy. That I must hate him. That I can't trust him.
Yet I sensed no trickery in his voice. In that conversation he offered for me to live with him and his girlfriend. A place somwhere in Arizona. A place somewhere very far from the battlefield. He also wants me to fly up in December to see him.
Then my aunt followed suit in calling the next day. She made her proposal to me of money matters and other things to my benefit.
She found out through my father that I had moved out, and passed this along to my brother.
I know this is going to stir up some serious shit. The private war that my relatives and my father are having. I know what this is going to cost me. I know I'm supposed to take a side in all of this. But I find myself wanting to stay neutral.
I never shut my brother or my relatives out despite what I was told.
I'm old enough now to be brought into this. Not that I'm entirely thrilled over it.
I'm somewhat confused over certian things because it just doesn't add up. I don't know what the family fights over. I don't know who I should trust. I don't know what the impact will be on me when my father learns that my brother and I have talked.
Last time I talked with my brother and aunt I had a huge fight with my dad and was silenced.
I guess in time I will see the final outcome.
