You are so right, the only trouble is i worry now that, what happens if something happens to them, what would we do about funeral etc. I am also stressing about are we doing the right thing - i know we are deep down its just me.
See this is me all over, still worrying and we have cut all ties, so as not to be stressed
Janet, It is so sad, and i would love to not be going through all this, and if they treated my husband like they do his sister (its as if they are careful what they say to her, as they dont want to offend her - yet they feel they can say whatever to us, and we have to take it), all he wants is to be treated the same, not preferential treatment.
Maybe when all the business with Mum's affairs are sorted out, then you will get a better relationship with your brothers again - fingers crossed for you.
Judy, I know what you mean about your stepmother, who knows maybe you will get chance to visit her, or take her out for lunch maybe, without her daughters present.
Diana, even though you are going through a tough time at the moment, it will get better. I think it must be lovely for you having a big, close knit family..... that must be really really nice.
