[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that you even say "our family dynamic" without recognizing that they are now FAMILY is telling...and disturbing.[/quote]

Okay, what should I say instead? I am dealing with a very stressful issue here and I am about the only one in the family who is still trying to deal with it. Everyone else has written them off. Why exactly is that disturbing?[/quote]

What's disturbing is that a family dynamic must gore and change and adapt and expand to include all of its members--warts and all. You seem to think it is closed, fixed and limited, and that only "perfect" people can be accepted.

Those boys are children. Children who come from a broken home. And you are going out of your way to exclude them.

Do what you will, but don't wonder why there is now drama, hurt and anger.[/quote]

So you would be totally cool with their behavior? OP and her family, especially her elderly father, shouldn't be the bad guys here. Also what thread are you reading? OP has done everything she can to include them when others have given up. You seem to be reading/projecting shit that isn't there.[/quote]
