[quote=Anonymous]So, long story short, my brother and I live in U.S. in different states. We both haven't visited our parents in years, and I've decided to go this year and spend holidays with them. We both have families here, and my brother did not make any effort to come and visit me and my husband. Neither did I but I just feel like : Ok he won't visit why should I invite myself to visit him? Anyways, my parents are heartbroken that we don't visit each other - we live 6h drive away from each other. They are also sad because he is able to visit them, but he just won't go. I call my parents every day to check in and see how they are doing and every time my mother is asking me about him, have I heard from him, how is he doing, and I really don't know what to say, I just don't want to lie anymore that I talk to him. My parents were always there for us, they are our biggest support, and I just don't get it how he doesn't realize that they are getting old and they just want to talk to him and see him.  When he calls me, which is rare, he just ask oh how are they doing, but not willing to send any text or make a call. He and my husband are the only family I have here...
I am very happy to see my parents and grandmother, but I would really like to have a better relationship with my brother and I  wish he will accept the fact that maybe in 10 years our parents won't be alive.

Any advice how to approach my selfish brother and make him realize that what he is doing is not good?

Thank you. [/quote]
