[quote=Anonymous]CAN you have a relationship? Yes. My husband's entire family remain close with my BIL and despite the fact that my BIL hasn't worked in 20 years. They blame it on his wife, who for some reason doesn't get along with them. Do you WANT to have a relationship? That's the real question. I'd probably be a little more diplomatic in the way you criticize your brother. Your parents are probably well-aware of and embarrassed that the fact that they have enabled him. Unless it's directly affecting you with requests for money or time I would probably avoid the topic or at most say, "This isn't something I want to discuss Mom" when she rails against the person that caused your brother's car accident. Your parents aren't going to change and neither is your brother.[/quote]
