Poor kids. That's so sad. I hope you two get in touch and maybe have some time to hang out without your SIL meddling.

Great story. You shouldn't feel guilty that you cannot 'return the favor'. Helping each other should be an act of love. I'm sure if you could you would.

Your SIL sounds awful...the stuff that inspires books like Harry Potter and fairy tales like Cinderella.

Hope you and your bro connect in Vegas.

I feel your pain. My brother goes through long spurts where he doesn't talk to any family for years, then suddenly he's back like nothing happened. I've grown used to it and accepted it. I'll leave messages that are short- "just checking up on you" 's. He just came back into the family's life a couple months ago. Moral of the story- in the end I will know I did my part. -Jason

and it will be because HE did it. on his own. guess we should cross fingers?

i do believe that he wants to reconnect, just cos he's asked about me. i
think it will work out if i get a chance to see him. i just don't have the
desire to see my sil AT ALL. thank you for your kind words. :)

If your brother gives you shit, you should throw rocks at his car.

Hi Ciara,

Ciara I am so sorry to hear that you and your brother have not talked in three years. It is so very sad what money can do to people. Unfortunately you guys haven't spoken or had a relationship in that time. I am hoping that when you get to Vegas all can be talked over and worked out. Things need to be talked out and hopefully all can be forgiven. Life is way too short to let something like money come between the two of you. I hope he is willing to meet up with you good luck and best wishes. My 55 is up.

Have a similar situation myself. For you?: DO IT...like they say, blood is thicker than water...or self centered teacher wives ;-)

Oh, I hope you work out things between you and your brother, despite SIL. And I hope your nephew can forgive your SIL one day, because there will be scars. He sounds like a male Cinderella. Family is so important, a lesson I have been passing on to my girls. I hope they've taken it to heart. Good luck.

I really liked your 55 a lot.

As for your brother....you can take the actions to mend things as you are led to do, but his reaction you will have no control over. At least, down the road, your side of the street will be clear for having done your own part. Then....let it go. Just sayin....
