[quote=Anonymous]Backstory: We come from a very broken family. Father + only only sibling passed away tragically and suddenly. Mother is narcissistic/severely mentally ill and toxic.

When things are going great for my brother, he’s involved and when things aren’t he will literally block me and disappear for a year. He was almost engaged to a woman he was dating for 2-3 years and they broke up and he disappeared. He’s always wanted a very certain life (family, good job, money) and he’s living a different one (single, lower paid job, roommates). It’s really my only immediate family member. I also have kids, young ones though, so they wouldn’t notice if he disappears. He’s also mean about it sometimes. I’ve always begged him back, for lack of better word but the last time he was being rude (he was telling me he had visited my city twice -he’s a part time flight attendant- and he didn’t even care to make an effort to see us.. which is actually fine but why say it?) He was also threatening to block again. He threatens weird things like he’s taking me off his will. This is strange because we are the same age. I sort of dished it back and “that’s fine.. I don’t know what to say. Maybe it is for the best.” Then he changes his tune and is like “I love you, blablabla” ... I guess I just don’t need the drama but don’t really know how to handle it because he’s my only immediate family member that’s alive, aside from my non who is in a home. [/quote]
