[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure what you should do about this specific event but I would recommend attending Al-Anon or talking to a professional in addiction about your brother.  With or without the girlfriend, it sounds like he has a lot of problems with drinking and as you get older they may become your problems, OP,  (been there done that) and you will need help in deciding how much of that to take on.  It can be helpful to talk to other people who have had to struggle with the same issue about a family member.  [b]Because ultimately, the girlfriend may be crazy but your brother has decided to be entangled with her and that says so much about him. [/b] Good luck![/quote]

OP, if you alienate her, you alienate him.  Is that what he needs?  Stop being so selfish.

If you just want to see the kids, and he trusts you with them, maybe you can take them out for a day, so they can have some Auntie Time.  If not, I question your motives.  You are not going to like every woman he dates, marries, or is involved with.  He's an adult.  He may or may not make good choices, but he is also your brother.  Deal with it.  Be supportive, or don't be at all; but don't take your feelings out on the children.  That would be foolish and naive of you.

Didn't your mother ever tell you?  You do not have to like everyone, but you do have to be nice.
