You're Right Gayle...FAMILY GRRRRR!!!!

[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.

Sorry, Janet. I thought that all the drama with your brothers was finished. THEY signed the papers allowing you to buy the house and I'm sure the amount you were paying was on the papers.......if they had a problem then they should have brought it up then......not later!!! They can only kick themselves in the rear for not asking questions then!!!

You and I will have to adopt each other as sisters because we both have brothers we don't care for!!!

Boy oh Boy. What a crock. what is it with brothers? Janet sorry you are going though this. Hope it all gets better soon. I like Diana's remark about adopting each other. To Cute....

I'm not sure what it is with brothers....except I'm learning they suck. Sorry you're going through the same thing, I hope it gets better for you, I don't think there is much hope for me. I'm not willing to keep getting hurt.

My brother is actually very sweet......he's just a drug user. My Mom is convinced that he's Mr. Good Boy and refuses to see the problem. I have a problem with all of the drama in his life.......married 4 times and working on number 5......who is a drug addict as well.......he has children from three of his ex-wives and has daughters following in his footsteps. He always talks about himself and you can't always believe what he says.

Thank goodness......I only have one brother........but, on the other hand.......that's ALL I have.

Diana, I'm sure I won't have any brothers after the Estate closing. Sad, huh?

I'm sorry you're going through the same thing Linda and then being so far away. Same here, that's why I just stay away from them, I'm so tired of being hurt. I hope things get better for you.
Next time you're in town, please let me know.

I have THREE brothers, all older than me! The youngest is an addict/alcoholic. I rarely see him any more, and I miss him because he is a sweet guy. My middle brother lives nearby. He had a stroke 3 years ago when he was 57. He comes by my house a lot to sit and visit, even though he can't talk much, he's still a sweetheart! My oldest brother lives directly across the street from us with my sil Teresa. We see each other on an almost daily basis. The 4 of us go out together and usually spend time at the beach every summer. He is kind enough to share his kids and 2 granddaughters with me so I don't get too lonely. We all get along very well and I love them so much!!

I have no full brothers or sisters. I have a half sister (same dad) but I've never even met her and don't even know her name other than her maiden name. I have 3 step brothers but 2 are deceased. I have one step sister. I'm not real close with the two who are living. My step brother is sort of a twit, but my step sister is nice.
