[quote=Anonymous]Tell your brother how disappointing it was that he cancelled or forgot about you for every plan last summer. See how he reacts, If he doesn’t care or if he gaslights you, then you have your answer. Leave it. If he seems genuinely sorry, then I’d agree to an arrangement eg one outing or dinner but let him know you’re expecting he will follow through. If he doesn’t then grieve the loss of this relationship. I have 3 sibs and we’re not close. We see each other once or twice a year, for a dinner. They’re not who I’d call if I’m planning something fun or if I’m in trouble. I have friends for those things. When my parents pass, I’m pretty sure we won’t see each other anymore. I tried for the longest time to build some closeness but no one was invested. So I’ve given up too. Family are the people who care about you, they’re not always the same people who share your genes and that’s ok. [/quote]
