I just got a response from my brother, and I wanted to share it with you.

"I love you no matter what name you choose to call yourself.
None the less, I would be no friend or brother if I didn't at least
say "That way be dragons."
Have you considered that if you have misdiagnosed the root cause of
your unhappiness then this prescription will not be the cure?
That isn't being negative, that's just me trying to protect you from
the terrible consequences I can see down this path.
Maybe you need to go this way in order to find out how empty it is.
In the mean time, I will go to war for you on my knees.
That's where this battle is really taking place and where real victory will be.
.
Your brother, no matter what,
Michael"

I am considering my own reply.

You have a great brother

Who knows? Could he be right? I'd advise some soul searching and patience.

I think I understand

I think I understand where he's coming from, as it's something I've personally struggled with quite a lot. I cannot tell you how many times I've had T* people tell me that if there's any other way, that I should consider it first, and I wholly agree with them.

This path is rocky, and it comes with its own set of problems, but that doesn't mean it's the wrong path, either.

From where I'm standing, I feel like the Real Life Test is the only way I'll ever be able to confirm if this is the path I want to take. It may be the same for you. The important thing is that the peace you find outweighs the consequences.

I'm not going to comment on the last part about this being a battle, though. It's not my place, and I'd only say something I'd regret. :-)
