My brother, over the last 6 days has managed to:
1. Destroy his family
2. Destroy my family
3. Destroy our relationship
4. Ruin Christmas
I may sell my story to a soap so they can do a story because the drama and bull that has been happening is so crazy it cannot be made up.
Oh, I'm so sorry.... not knowing the specifics of what's happened in your case, I can relate... my older brother (six years older than me) left his wife a week before my wedding (he left her a note), and he had knocked up his honey - it's years and years ago, and he's still an arse, oblivious to how everything affected everyone, especially my mom, at the time and since. They had a son who was eight then, and he was devastated - and he talked to me about it once he was an adult, how it still affects him.Quote:

My icky brother got very drunk at the wedding, chased after my husband's younger sister (five years younger than me) who was here from Europe - it was just a mess!
Thanks Nat, so sorry you had to go through that.Quote:

You need to remember that he is just one man. You have yourself, and your family to think about first.
Natalka is such a wise, gentle goddess. The unpaid therapist of SC LOL
There's a thought....
Candini - I guess it's years of experience, been through a lot - also have had wise people in my life who have helped me along my own journey!
You are for sure one very wise and strong woman....and so generous with your kind words of encouragement and support.

I gained 6 pounds this month! I now weigh 201. For the next week, I am going to shovel everyone's sidewalk for free until I am back at 195!
I forgot to pull out my PC Plus card at Independent yesterday
and the cashier forgot to ask me, but asked the lady behind me... :rolleyes: lol
i_forgot so sorry, I know all too well about family drama. Sadly we now have certain family members who no longer attend family events and although in some ways there is now less drama is is hard for some older family members to understand why they do not come.

She moves like an inch, so when I grab my cart I feel myself step on her foot.
THEN when I go to pay the cashier I turn to grab my wallet out of my purse and literally this woman was like arm to arm with me, so when I turned I (not intentionally, honest) pushed her. I looked at her and said CAN YOU GET OUT OF MY SPACE, PLEASE? Everyone in line looked at me as if I was insane (Hah, sort of) and the cashier looked super awkward.
Like, if you like my perfume I am MORE than happy to answer any questions you have regarding it. But BACK the f*ck up.
rant.. stores closed before i could use all my coupons!
rant-the ribs from fortinos were not that great-called to complain and they said the are already cooked before they are sent to us well they were pink and crappy(tough too)-the only consellation was I had a free gift card from hubbies work-still not happy last night
Rant - DH knowing we had no pellets left for the stove and doesn't pick up more! It is New Years Day and no stores are open. I have enough pellets to get the fire started for a few minutes. It is -21 with the windchill right now. I can see us spending time in my room with the electric heat!
