My husband replied she should have asked him before she had a headstone set since he paid $8,000 for the funeral out of his own pocket with no help from his siblings. She shut up, packed up her family, and moved to Tennessee. We haven't spoke to them in over a year and it has been so peaceful!
Now his brother, he ruined my husband financially and still expects us to help out when he and his wife need it. His family has bled us dry and it is all we can do to care for our own now. We lost everything we owned at the hands of his brother. We have forgiven, we just do not forget. We only see his brother once a year and that is once too many for me. We are only polite because we have to be.

Sounds like my husband's family. They were like this when he was alive. His brother was the "chosen" one and my husband did all the work. He got up at 4:00 every morning, checked everything on the farm including his parents, went to work at the DOT by 7:00 each morning and worked 12 hours. He did everything in reverse every evening and I was lucky if he got home before 9:00. HIs brother did NOTHING. My husband literally worked himself to death. Sorry, I am very bitter.
