[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe your brother is trying to distance himself from you? I made it clear to one of my siblings that I was not interested in maintaining any kind of relationship with them in the future. They have a controlling and manipulative personality, and continue to send e-mails, texts, cards, etc. This is not an attempt at reconciliation or keep a relationship, but part of their controlling behavior, by disregarding my decision - however polite or casual the messages are. It immediate goes in the trash, deleted, or is ignored. [/quote]

I guess???? I don't think he considers me controlling and manipulative and he has never conveyed such a decision or wish to me.  I think he could very likely ignore or trash my messages though, you are right.

This is part of a pattern of behavior by he and his wife that is directed not just toward me but toward my parents that is very difficult for my elderly parents to deal with.  It is an attitude that the couple are extremely important, extremely busy, and entitled to the most extraordinary deference in all matters of time and scheduling.   [/quote]
