[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I am an adult child[/b] and I know my family dynamic.

We all live in different states and rarely coordinate visits. We managed to all make it to a graduation this year and that was a miracle.

My two older brothers don't talk, one doesn't want to be in the room with the other. My younger brother makes an attempt but doesn't like my older brothers and their kids drive him crazy, all adults now.

I am the only one who talks to everyone.

My Mother and Father are not happy with the dynamic and my Mom wonders where she went wrong.

Other than the occasional high-schooler trolling th eBoomers, every single person on DCUM is an adult child.  This is not some sort of special credential.  [/quote]

I guess I felt the need to share that I was not the parent but the sibling and I can still talk to my family dynamics. [/quote]

NP here.  Good for you for acknowledging how "less than perfect" the family dynamics really are.  It is tough, because the IL's get together out of obligation - which takes away from limited vacation time and limited time, in general.  I would want my kids to spend time with me because they actually enjoy it. [/quote]
