This! My older brother was a very difficult growing up -- he will say it himself. It is hard to believe we were raised by the same parents in the same house. Too many people were eager to lay fault with my parents, probably because they listened and my brother was a brick wall. It definitely was not a lack of love or trying and tons of sacrifice on my parents' part.
My brother grew up to be a good person and father, thankfully.
