In my case, it's my father who acts like your brother does. I send him a Christmas card, Father's Day, etc. every year but that is the extent of my efforts anymore. Some relationships are just too much work. Anyway, my dad has made no effort to contact me or to know his grandchildren. A couple of months ago I received a two page typewritten letter in the mail in which he accused me of all sorts of things (none true!), informed me that he will never forgive me for keeping his grandchildren away from him, and then ended it by saying something about how it would be nice to be back in touch.<br /><br />I didn't respond to his letter. I've gotten to the point in my life where I have enough drama with the teenagers - I don't really need any more! As I said, some relationships are just too much effort.<br /><br />Good luck to you!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10019980832742495532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-67426153941612066822011-06-25T00:33:23.374-04:002011-06-25T00:33:23.374-04:00This is why you have to update us DAILY!

It doesn't sound like a very loving situation, but then there's your dad who makes a bypass sound like he's getting a dental checkup. Not! My mom had one years ago (she's gone now) and it was MAJOR.<br /><br />I hope you can make it there, he needs somebody around who can at least act like an adult... :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-4425671672675515062011-06-24T21:55:41.337-04:002011-06-24T21:55:41.337-04:00Please don't take offense, Gigi, but I'm r...Please don't take offense, Gigi, but I'm relieved to hear I'm not the only one that deals with family drama.

Last time I talked to him, his girlfriend (of the time) was telling him lies about stuff I said (I'm really boring, I don't cause a lot of trouble, really). He said, (and this is kind of funny), "I'll take care of it". <br /><br />Nearly two years ago I stopped talking to my birth brother because turns out, sharing the same genes as our father can in fact turn you into a giant asshole. <br /><br />I got an email from my father. Who I hadn't heard from in 8 years at that time (as it was 2 years ago) and he said the only reason we don't talk doesn't have anything to do with him. I didn't write him back. When you're dealing with someone that *delusional*, there's really nothing you can say to them. <br /><br />I have an Aunt that stole money from my grandmother's (her mothers) estate too. <br /><br />Three step-brothers (who have been my step-brothers for nearly 20 years), NEVER talk to one of them, another one only when they want something and the third is a good guy but too wrapped up in his own life to stay in touch properly.<br /><br />Anywho, long story to tell you: I understand!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02491795869831026753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-3393308999515856322011-06-24T20:30:47.974-04:002011-06-24T20:30:47.974-04:00AND, I could write a whole book on my husband'...AND, I could write a whole book on my husband's ex-wife. Crack-head thinks that even though she abandoned her kids that they should still be at her beck and call. And seriously her beck and calls are MESSED up. I should have stopped at my first comment.

Heck, I'll probably share my own family drama. It's on both sides- my family and my husband's family. Ugh- it's a wonder I ever leave my house.Foursonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07470306593323990269noreply@blogger.com
