[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My brother is a narcissist. I have finally given up on him. I stopped calling, but made it clear to him that he can always call me, that he's always invited to visit, that I love him, but that I will no longer reach out to him (because my hand always gets bitten!) he must reach out to me.

It's been six years, and I have not heard a single word from my brother. Not an email, nor phone call, nor even so much as a Christmas card. He's my only sibling, and I miss him, but the pain he caused me only stopped when I stopped trying to have a relationship with him that was doomed to failure.

It's hard to let go, OP, but do it for yourself. The pain of not seeing my brother is less than the pain of interacting with him. When I was able to accept this, I was able to let go, finally. And I feel better. [/quote]

OP here. Thank you again, all the posters, for your responses. It all helps. Question for you, PP, does your brother have kids? Because my sister's kids --my niece and nephew -- are what tie me to her. I reach out to her because I want my children to have a relationship with their cousins. Without them, cutting her off entirely would be much easier. [/quote]
