[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks everyone. We live in different states and we stopped visiting years ago after they uninvited us for a holiday because SIL had too much going on at work. In the past, I addressed SIL's comments toward me and my brother has said that she can come across harsh and doesn't always realize it. He doesn't take feedback well and always has to be right so it is kind of a waste of time. I haven't addressed last summer with my brother and have had less contact with him because I am just angry. It sucks that I have no other family and this is all I have. [/quote] You need therapy to deal with these legitimate emotions, OP. And you need to build your family with chosen friends, not blood relatives. This is what my husband and I did. We do like some of our relatives, but we're expats, so it was necessary for us to create our "friends" family.[/quote]
