[quote=Anonymous]Look up triangulation, aside from everything. You are pitting your self against your brother as much as your parents are stirring the drama with you on their side. Why are the three of you a package deal?

It sounds like there’s lots of money drama, with your parents offering things and then pulling them away. A gift is not a loan. You’re saying they have them a house but at the same time the money was a loan - which is it?

Your brother and his family have had enough with being controlled by purse strings that aren’t even actually there. You’re acting like it’s all one big family, but it’s not your money either.

If YOU want a relationship with your brother, you have to separate yourself from your parents.

I feel like this is probably an ESH but I’d like to hear your brother’s actual side. I can imagine having things promised, making financial plans, only to then have the rug pulled was a huge stressor in his life. My in-laws kind of played this game with us (not exactly, we didn’t borrow money and ended up paying out of pocket for their choices) and I’ll never set foot in their house again. [/quote]
