Probably because my eldest brother, Lawrence, left for University at an early age. There are only two pictures that exist with all five of my immediate family together. And both were taken at my brothers’ weddings. I will always look back on those moments with fond memories. I cherish the time we had together as a family.

Kinda Personal…

My brother, who exhibits clear signs of a narcissistic, hypomanic personality disorder with assertive homophobic behavior, recently published a defamatory story filled with homophobic falsehoods and private details of my life aimed at tarnishing my reputation. If you’ve ever wondered what kind of sibling would go to such lengths to harm a family member, look no further. I am sharing his piece with my commentary in the link below to set the record straight. I leave it to you to decide who speaks the truth. My sole intention is to defend myself against someone whose actions are driven by malice and falsehoods. His published story appears on the left side, my response on the right side — read and judge for yourself.
