[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't defend your brother from what you acknowledge is a powerful wrong done to him by other family members, whatever it is, then what good are you as a sibling? how would you feel if someone hurt you, and others just said, "eh, not my fight" and continued socializing with them? Maybe you could tell your brother that you know what happened was wrong, since you said it here a couple of times.[/quote]

I have told him that I thought it was wrong.  And, at the time, I told the family members to get their heads out of their asses and do better and apologize (although I said that in a nicer, more productive way), which they did.  But, I didn't agree with him that cutting off ties was the right response.  Nonetheless, I understood that was his decision, and while I still have a relationship with him, I don't discuss my parents with him any longer.

When my brother and I disagree about things in the present, they have nothing to do with the past with him and my parents.  They have to do with our different views about, for example, my kids.   It seems impossible to agree to disagree with him.  [/quote]
