Usually, the only nightmares that really get to me are the ones in which good things happen (Pam is still alive, my pets are still around, etc.), because then waking up is painful

you shouldn't beat your self up over living so far away from your brother. as long as you are there for him when he needs you and he is there for you when you need him then no distance is too far. your brother and sister nothing can come between that. and if you where there for every time he tripped and scrapped his knee then he would grow up weak and unable to defend him self...
He'll probably grow up weak and unable to defend himself, anyway.
It runs in the family.
Last time I was home, I got worried about him because he's even wimpier than I am... he'd start to cry and whimper over the tiniest, most insignificant things (with his family, who he knows loves him, no less; imagine how he is with other kids)... so I gave him a talk about trying to be a little tougher, and about bullies and how you can't let them get to you, how they'll pick on you more if they know you're easily upset, etc.
To his credit, he's only 6 years old. Hopefully he'll be slightly less sensitive when he's older; not being able to control your outward emotional reactions to things isn't a whole lot of fun.
There are worse things to be than a little bit oversensitive, I suppose. Being picked on as a kid can be a character building experience, as long as you don't let it make you bitter and reluctant to open up to people.
exactly and in time he will learn these things. being overly sensative can in turn make other aspects of your personality stronger. its all a balance and as long as you are there for him when he needs you then thats all you can do. If you disallow your self from experiencing life (moving to halifax) then you will become old and bitter over what may have been and what could have been.
I know how you feel. I was warned about moving away permanently because of my sisters. Because of them I was thinking about moving back home for the summer. They're only a little bit older than your brother. Kids that age need their big sisters :/
Maire, you are a great person and if your brother turns out to be a lot like you then I'd be very proud of him. If this little fellow grows up able to think and feel and be compassionate the way you are then good on him. I mean everyone has issues but you love your brother and you'll be there for him when he needs you. And he'll appreciate that so much.
i was ALWAYS overly sensitive as a kid. my teacher even wrote home to my mom about it because i would cry if anyone raised their voice at me at all. i think it was because i was ashamed.
in any case, i didn't learn how to be tougher so i still get insanely upset and nearly cry if i get in a big argument with someone. it's ridiculous and i know it is, but i honestly can't help it.
