[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I have not talked to my brother for over 20 years we are in our early 60's.

In my case my brother is a criminal, sub-human he adds nothing but insanity to anyone's life.

The day I cut him off best thing I ever did.

My mother I waited and honestly I should have cut her off then too.

Just becasue they are family does not mean they are acceptable humans.[/quote

I am older and have an older sister who was a bully my entire life. Her M.O. what being very nice then she would be really cruel and evil - classic abuser. So it's really confusing and some people don't believe that she is evil because they only see the nice version.

In middle age, I cut off contact with her after she severely abused our mother, it was the last straw. I wish I had cut her off many years earlier. If I had it to do over again, I would have cut her off decades earlier.

My advice to OP is to stop the contact ASAP. Stop feeling obligated. Your abuser can abuse you as long as you are within their life. In hindsight, I see it is healthier to cut off contact with abusive people ASAP.[/quote]
