Wow, Plan9 managed to post without asking for pictures. Will wonders never cease?
It sounds like you're describing the relationship that I have with my brother, only in reverse. I was the successful one in academics, athletics (although he probably would have surpassed me if he hadn't injured his knee) and relationships. However, you have a mild case of jealousy; his was raging.
It took us about 15 years after he graduated from high school to be able to coexist. There was a time where I just stopped going to my parents' for holidays. And at the end of the day, he just grew out of it and realized that using my life for a metric for success or failure wasn't a good idea.
