[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I understand how you feel. My brother showed up at Easter......with the OW! He left his family two days before. We were blindsided, and my brother and OW couldn't understand why we weren't more welcoming. It was awful. My brother demanded immediate acceptance and the result was strained relationships with some family members and wholesale destruction of relationships with others.[/quote]

I can't understand this mindset.  He cares enough about his family's support for his marriage to have you attend his wedding and have you all witness the vows he willingly took, and yet he can't understand why you aren't more welcoming to the OW two days after leaving?  Crazy![/quote]

Because my brother is a selfish jerk with a raging case of Peter Pan Syndrome. This is the same guy who a couple months later went to his kids' birthday party, hosted by the wife he walked out on (and he still hadn't filed for divorce at this point!) and brought along OW. And, again, why were we all so mean and not nice and cold and not welcoming? She's his soulmate![/quote]

Your brother is a royal ass. I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. His poor kids.[/quote]

If both you and your parents decide to not meet your brother with the OW then he has a very difficult decision to make regarding maintaining relationship with his own family.  I think the ball is in his court, not yours.  I don’t know if HE values you and your parents.  [/quote]
