[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know why you're getting yelled at either. Your follow up does help in crafting a response. I'd thank her for reaching out to coordinate a visit from her kids. I'd acknowledge the awkwardness of the situation, the difficulty in establishing a new normal and your desire to maintain a positive relationship. If she brings up your brother in any way, I'd say something along the lines of 'I appreciate the pain you are experiencing and wish I could be a better support. I'm sure you can understand the difficult position I'm in since my brother is involved. I think we're all better served by not bringing him into our conversations.'[/quote] And let her know that you are also asking your brother not to talk to you about her. Jokingly call yourself Switzerland. It’s great you want to keep in touch and stay close for the kids’ sake. [/quote]
