I think it is always what family says that will hurt the most, because we love them so much more and it is they that matters most to us....
I think If it was intentional, his status reflects really how much he know you care for him. And deep down is probably so grateful that he could rely on you from preventing him getting into the trouble/pain that might have occurred.
hmmm...sorry coreen. but i totally remember feeling that way towards one wen i was tori boy's age. remember? wen she would be all up in mine and mahea's business??? hahahaha. wen i look back at it now...we were brats. but look at how much our relationship has grown from that.

PRE-NOTE: I totally failed the blog challenge. I will still continue where I left off. I believe I'm on day 15.

My closest friends and family know how much I adore my little brother. If you didn't know, well, now you know! He said something hurtful on FaceBook about me, in his status update, and I'm just bummed about it. He knows I read it so I'm sure he posted it to intentionally hurt me. Whatever the case is, I sat here crying for a good hour. Even as I write this, I'm tearing up.
I see him going down the wrong path. Possibly temporary path. Hopefully! I know I've walked it before and can't say that I regret doing so. I just wish he would spare himself the drama. Anyway... great quote about Courageous Parenting:
Imagine for a moment that your daughter was sitting on the railroad tracks and you heard the train whistle blowing. Would you warn her to get off the tracks? Or would you hesitate, worried that she might think you were being overprotective? If she ignored your warning, would you quickly move her to a safe place? Of course you would! Your love for your daughter would override all other considerations. You would value her life more than her temporary goodwill.I'm not a parent but I am a protective older sister.
[Image]Today, as I was making my way to town to run some errands. Husband and I was passing Hauula Homestead Road and I see my brother sitting behind a truck (when he should be at school) with a bunch of other teens. So I called my popps to let him know what I had seen. Popps confronts him after dinner this evening, takes away his phone, and gives him the low-down on how he got his information. I don't mind being the source. I want him to know that he is ALWAYS being looked after.
This boy is my life. My heart is extremely tender for him. The circumstances surrounding his arrival into our family would only make one melt with compassion and unconditional love. I feel that for him. Since the day I laid eyes on him, I have enjoyed catering to his every need and want. Maybe I made a mistake in dedicating so much time and energy into giving him everything he desired. Maybe that's why it hurts me when he says idiotic things on his Facebook status. Maybe I'm over reacting. Maybe not.
His status was simple... "my own sister rats me out... not surprised."
