$100,000+. I laid down for a rest earlier tonight and I was honest with myself. You and your cause to take from me while ensuring no one gets more than you have cost me over a $100,000 in lost wages in the last twenty years. Likely well over and far beyond that number, it might not even be a stretch to say double. That’s just wages alone. There's nothing like going through life in the "real world" as you like to call it with a knife in your back by your own brother. For a guy who has always been so insecure and scared to have anyone make him look bad, you sure have no problem doing the very same to others. You would have been a wreck throughout your life with an older brother like you. I know it.

I’ve spoken with a few cousins regarding the party coming up, family pictures here on Facebook… My intuition tells me the four of you have gone around the circle. They are free to believe what they want as anyone. I know what I know and I know what I have experienced. The counsellor called the four of you Takers while dad and I were Givers. I never liked that. We both know that you have thrived in past years by taking from me. You thrived because you know that was never my intent. To give what’s mine to you. Giver isn’t the right word. Devalued, boxed in, projected upon, cheated, shafted, victimized and exploited is more accurate, but I’ll think of a good word at another time.

You will never succeed among those who devalue you. I know that to be true. Everything here is the fruit of your own making Jim. The only thing I am sorry for is being so slow to get moving on it.
