[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I appreciate all the responses. I love getting feedback from someone other than my husband on this matter. A little more background even though it's hard. I would like your opinion on how to proceed as a whole. I am in therapy..I actually have a psychiatrist and a therapist that I have been working with for a year.

This letter that I wrote stemmed from "the last straw". I have two people in my life who are worse than my mother. My father and brother have told me to kill myself many times over the years after I have disagreed with them on anything from politics to what we should have for dinner. I have decided to completely cut my brother off after years of not getting his way and calling me a psycho bitch whenever he is called out for his manipulative behavior. He has lied his way out of so many situations that I felt like I was crazy. I realized later this is abusive and gaslighting. I brought this up to my mother after a particularly awful incident when I suggested my mother and brother get covid tests before we come see them. We are driving 19 hours to see them. I suggested they come out to see the kids after they do their online school for the day. My brother said he couldn't possibly drive the hour in rush hour traffic to see my kids because it was "suicide inducing" to do so. I said that we are driving 19 hours. Surely you can come an hour in rush hour traffic to see them. He responded that I was having a psychotic temper tantrum and he feels sorry for my kids. My mother called me selfish for expecting them to sit on the road for an hour in traffic and took his side.

I want to get out of this cycle of abuse for good. Please, any advice?[/quote]

Don't visit them.  This is ridiculous behavior by your entire family.  Why would you drive 19 hours to subject yourself to this?  [/quote]
