[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You clearly are upset with the disconnect you feel with your brother. He's weak and makes little effort to connect with his own family, so sil has to do all the management of that. She's not the problem and there's nothing that you describe here that is rude or offensive.

Address what the real issue is, that your brother has shown repeatedly that you guys aren't worth the trouble to maintain a good connection. Then address that however you feel is best, either through a conversation with your brother, in therapy, or through simple acceptance that you don't have the relationship with him that you wished you had.[/quote]

Where do you get of insulting the brother? We have no idea if he can't stand the lot of them and wishes he had a different family. Maybe they were abusive to him growing up. We just know from what op has posted and they clearly are a rigid, dysfunctional family.

See we both can do it. [/quote]

You're missing the point of my post. The point is the op is upset about the disconnect with her brother and blaming the sil when there is actually no reason to do so. It's just easier to vilify the woman than confront the fact that your brother doesn't want to spend time with you.[/quote]
