Epiphany

My whole life, I have felt that my brother always takes my parents' side in arguments and never, ever supports me. Very recently, I realized that I do the same exact thing to him. For me, being a hypocrite is a fate worse than death, so this realization did not sit well. I decided that the first step I must take is to tell my mom, since she is the one to whom I most often complain about my brother. So I told her the whole deal, and she says, "Oh, so you don't want to be on my side?!" I explain that this isn't about her, to which she responds, "Nothing is ever about me!" and storms off.
