[quote=Anonymous]My mom is basically raising my stepbrother's children right now. He is separating from his wife after they moved to the Pacific Northwest and wouldn't acknowledge anyone in our family for years. Their kids are 2 & 6. My stepbrother is living in my mom and stepdad's house right now and has been there 4 months. My mom is the primary caretaker. I'm 30/f and have no kids yet (but want them) and am in a serious relationship. I have also been abroad for almost a year and just returned for a short visit. I'm being made to stay in a hotel and my mom never has a free moment because the kids are constantly clinging to her and need something.

My stepbrother used to talk to so much s*** about my mom with his wife. They would say how horrible she was as a caretaker (she took care of the firstborn when he was a baby and they worked). He also called my mom a b**** and a whore. But now he lives in their house rent free, free food, etc and his kids are given everything including free child care. His wife is living in an apartment and only sees the kids sometimes... and everyone is saying she is a terrible caretaker, etc.. She is threatening suicide.

I feel angry and pissed off. I've tried to talk to my mom about it to no avail and she cuts me off and her usual excuse is she doesn't want to talk about it in front of the kids (while she begins to scream and get angry). There is never ever a free moment to speak to her. She said that I'm being made to stay in a hotel because it's too stressful in the house. They have a 6 bedroom house. I'm beside myself. It hurts. I told her I may never come back to visit. She said "fine."

I'm also adopted. This is my adoptive mom. I feel rejected and hurt. My other two siblings visited over the summer. Each stayed around 3-5 days with their kids. I'm the only one without kids in the family. I really don't know what to do from here. [/quote]
