[quote=Anonymous]What do you hope to accomplish? You can't rewind the clock and make him redo it. Is there anything that would satisfy you? It sounds like you just need to vent, even though it can't change anything.

"Doug, I am really upset that you didn't make it a priority to come help move Dad, even after you committed to. You backed out on the last minute. You left us in a lurch. We have helped you out a lot and when we asked for the family to pull together, you let us down. 1) I want you to know that we won't be able to assist you with these types of things in the future, like moving. 2) If you want to continue to have a good family relationship, you need to make amends, especially with my husband because he is especially upset. And 3) We spent a lot of money to complete this move. It would go a long way to apologizing if you would contribute at least $500 - more is better - as your part."

You need to be clear on what your desired outcome is. Do you want him to take some action? Do you want him to stay away from you forever? Do you want him just to acknowledge that he screwed up? Be extremely clear with him. [/quote]
