[quote=Anonymous]I am the other children. Don't include the "bad child." And I'm saying this from a healthy place. I hold no ill will against my sibling, but they don't want to be there and they ruin the trip for everyone else.

My parents have just stopped paying for trips for anyone because of this to make it more "fair" that they vacation with my other sibling and I's families and not with bad child. They feel like when you take a free vacation out of the picture, it makes it more palatable to the other child. Other child would NEVER pay their own way on a vacation just so they could spend time with us. They'd only go if they were freeloading, which shows more of their true intentions.

For me and my other sibling, there's a history of mental illness with the bad sibling. They have been treated so many different times and spent childhood with so many therapists. Other sibling and I have a lot of pain from being overlooked growing up due to all of this. We're happy and successful and we can no longer see our parents be abused anymore. We won't attend if the bad sibling is there. I just can't watch family members I love be abused, nor let my children see that either. It's too dysfunctional for me to be around anymore. Every few years I try and send an olive branch to sibling, but they basically just burn it in my face. Fool me once...[/quote]
