[quote=Anonymous]I have come to the conclusion that both my brothers have married wives who want nothing to do with our family. I somewhat understand as my mom was really controlling and had a bad temper. I know that was hard for the wives and we talked about it while my mom was alive. Now she is gone and dad moved on and is not involved really with anyone but his new girlfriend. The irony is these wives have families who have really really big issues so part of me is wondering why the extra drama. Anyway, since my mom is out of the picture (and it is still sad for me as she did have a good side and chaos growing up so I see what happened), I actually thought we would have peace and recover. I should add I was not a problem, I have always been a peacemaker. I have never had bad words with anyone. But..my brothers who live in different areas of the country just are now focused on their wives families. Lots of trips all sorts of things and we are never invited. I have planned vacations and actually paid and they came in the beginning but now there is always an excuse. I see my brothers when they are in town for business but that is it. I am exhausted from trying and have told my brother as such. He just ignores. It really hurts my feelings. By the way, both wives will not answer the phone. They will txt answers back. It is really bizarre. Again I am exhausted. We have kids so I have tried for that but I just don't want to anymore. Anyway else have stuff like this? Yesterday my brother called and talked about coming with one of their kids to our vacation home after xmas. I was actually annoyed. Clearly the wife doesn't want to go and is taking the kids who are actually my kids age somewhere else. Brother didn't think it was rude at all.  I am thinking he wanted to take his oldest hunting/fishing on our property. I did calmly put my foot down and say that they were welcome to come for a visit when it worked for everyone. I think he didn't know what to say because I rarely take a stand on anything but I feel like my brothers' should at some point acknowledge this weird stuff. Sorry for the vent but I am still thinking about the call. [/quote]
