					<description>Oh boy that sounds like my brother and his GF [way back in the '70s]those 2 were an explosive couple, love-hate-love-hate. He punched more holes in walls over her. She ended up dumping him immediately after [a decade of dating]he graduated Navy w honors. Talk about a bad day at a Navy Graduation. That was some family picnic I can tell ya. His life [now he is in his 50's]has always seemed to be based on never getting her that first GF.It was as if they wanted to be together and couldnt handle each other, though I wonder if they would have had any counseling would that have helped them gain what they both wanted.
My mom had a fit when I remained in contact with her [my relationship w her had nothing to do w his] and I remember it was the first time I stood up for myself as a teenager stating that "I just don't walk away from friends" to my mom.
-sigh-- life is hard sometimes. I'm glad your brother brought the car back. Mine took my mom's to Mexico once, and I also bailed him out of jail for a stack of unpaid parking tickets. But every one is still here, knock on wood.
This is long, but eventually we rented a storage room for our "junk" together. We had 2 folding chairs in there and would sit and look at old comic collections and laugh at some stuff we saved, and amazingly, after what we had lived though in our childhood, we were laughing together.It was a good experience [that was in my early 20's]and I think it was good because we were in a storage room not at home or around other family member to give their 2cents. 

I hope you are doing well Polly.</description>
