[DIANE W]

Janet.... I am so sorry this is happening, its hard enough what has happened with losing your mum and all, dealing with that is difficult enough.

I think from reading your posts, this is pretty typical of the behaviour you have seen from your brothers, and were even expecting it.

All my advice would be is try not to raise to their bait, i dont think whatever you tell them will stop them from thinking you have somehow got the property cheap, and done a dirty deed on them. It is sad but they are just seeing MONEY MONEY MONEY, and they dont know the hurt they are causing, even though you are mad at them, i think it is hurting you too.

Family are sometimes very hard to deal with, they will think what they want no matter what you do or say - take comfort in that soon April will be here and it will all be sorted out, then maybe your contact with them will only be for nice family celebrations.

Take care, and good luck with everything.
