I had to get up and think about this for a while before I said something I don't want out there on the internet. I've got to go along with what casecollectorsc said about dysfunctional. All I'm going to say is,since my Dad passed away and my mother moved in with my oldest brother and his wife,things have gotten so bad that I haven't been to a family get together in a year and a half. My two sisters and sister in law have just flat out gone too far. Things will never be right again and I've done all I can to accept it.

My younger brother has power of attorney and will be administrator of my mother's will. He said he wished I'd do it because he doesn't want everybody hating him when it's all over. I just patted him on the back and said "Mom always liked you best". He didn't think that was funny.

All I know is,when somebody lays that "but we're family" line on you,bend over. It just means you have take their garbage or else,and those three women are experts at "or else".

Just hang in there. If your siblings are going to be a problem when it's over,accept what I have,that there's no need to take behavior from "family" that you wouldn't take from a stranger. Best of luck to you. Looks like you're not alone. You've sure got my deepest sympathy and understanding. The only thing that keeps me going some times is a firm belief in Karma and remembering what a guy told me recently about his first hand account with a near death experience when he said he saw the gates of h#ll during his bypass surgery.

Today's Featured Article - Usin Your Implements: Bucket Loader - by Curtis Von Fange. Introduction: Dad was raised during the depression years of the thirties. As a kid he worked part time on a farm in Kansas doing many of the manual chores. Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea ... [Read Article]
