I had a screaming match with the oldest (him at me) about politics 25 years ago and that was that. Now he's 81 and apparently is holing up in his house and never goes out.

The other one has nothing to do with any of us. Lives in the past and is still bitter about things that happened 50 years ago. Our household was rather "rough and ready" with 3 boys running around and the oldest always picked on the younger and the two of them often ganged up on him and he wasn't the type that could just let it roll off his back.
