3. I can't speak to any pathologies. I don't know you.

And even if I did they'd probably be contaminated by my own. Your brother didn't have any 'value' to you. I totally get that.

As the years plug along I find myself distancing myself from all of my family. To be honest I'm not 100% certain why this is. I really don't care.

You set the standards for 'normal'. No one else does.

I am sad that another person had been touched by darkness and decided to leave this rat cage we all live in. You do what feels right for you. Death is a funny bird. Having gone through so much of it in recent years I've become very cynical and 'ho-hum' about so much of it. That, I suppose, is one of my pathologies.

You're cool with me. I don't pass any judgement on you for how you feel, or not-feel.
