[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, you don't need to think about him, let alone see him, talk to him, or go to his funeral. [b]Feel free to explain this to whoever is pushing you to reconnect, in your most acid tones.[/b] My mother has a chronic illness and a significant disability that impacts her daily life. It's not her fault, but it has changed her behavior negatively. Long-term disease tends to do that. But the bottom line is that if there is poor behavior, it doesn't matter where it comes from - the victim is still victimized. I've had to distance myself significantly to stay sane, even though I love my mother. [/quote] It's OP's mother. I'd forgo the "acid tones," so as not to pile hurt onto a woman who is grieving her brother's impending death. You can be gentle, kind, and firm. [/quote]
