hopefully this isn't too political - but our middle brother's daughter came out as lesbian when she turned 18. Her dad kicked her out of the house (this was in Sept of her senior year of high school) and when I found out in October I reached out to her and told her I loved her and would always support her. When her dad (my middle brother) found out that I talked to her he did reach out to tell me what a horrible person I was and then he stopped any communication with me in any way. Then he apparently told my other brother. The other brother never reached out to tell me I was bad or that he was upset with me, he just stopped talking to me in any way (and had his family do the same).
Consider yourself blessed, I guess. My personal life is pretty drama-free and besides the little mundane irritations, I don’t really have any relationships that aren’t pleasant and easy-going. Like you, I have to rely on transactions going wrong and companies screwing me over to really get me furious!It takes a lot to upset me, but Delta did when they lost me in their system, causing me to miss my connecting flight with family and friends. It worked out in the end, but was so frustrating. My issue is so minor compared to some of the others being shared.
I shouldnt laugh at this butI think I am menopausal, not sure but everything lately..ugh. Last week I went to TJ Maxx. I was in a great mood until the cashier asked me if I wanted to use my 55+ and up discount (I am 50).
What on earth???? What horrible brothers you have! All i can say is that she's VERY fortunate to have you in her life. Eventually your brothers will come around, and when they do, i'd give them an earful or two.hopefully this isn't too political - but our middle brother's daughter came out as lesbian when she turned 18.

My DIL and even though the incident was a year ago it has put a horrible strain on my relationship with my son.
My husband had 2 strokes in the space of a month 2 years ago and my kids don't understand how it has changed him. Last august, thinking he was giving me a break, he called my DIL to take him to his dr.'s appointment. I knew NOTHING about it because he made the appointment without mentioning it to me. She took him and then called me and let loose with a string of profanity on how I am a horrible wife. Enough is enough and I gave it right back to her.
My son and husband had a long standing policy of football Sundays at my son's house and because of my DIL we were not invited once this past year. My grandson is playing baseball this year and I barely talked to my son at the games. My son's birthday is this week and no mention of his annual BBQ even after I offered him a case of free hamburger and hot dog rolls, which he declined. It just rubbed more salt in the open wound.
Sounds like you lucked out. Your brother sounds like a real piece of work.hopefully this isn't too political - but our middle brother's daughter came out as lesbian when she turned 18.

Wow you are getting it in all directions. I'm sorry, that would be really upsetting, in all cases.Wow, some of these are heartbreaking especially you, ((( Izzybelle)))
I think I am menopausal, not sure but everything lately..ugh. Last week I went to TJ Maxx. I was in a great mood until the cashier asked me if I wanted to use my 55+ and up discount (I am 50). I know my family is planning another reunion I am not invited to this coming weekend. I'm ok with not going I just hate how they are secretive about it and probably will send me pictures of them all together (like they did for the last one 3 years ago).
My kids have been on a sports team for three years. I know everyone thinks their kids are perfect but I know mine are very sweet kids. They are humble and quiet and kind to everyone. They, along with their friend, were not invited to sports camp with the other group of girls. They have been keeping it a secret from us and our kids. I thought I was friends with one of the moms but she's the one who made sure we were kept out of the loop. Our kids are the same ages and have the same goals, so I'm a bit hurt. Luckily my kids don't care. They have SO much more self confidence than me.
Hugs right back to you Lori74!hugs to all. no hurts too big or small. Pain is pain. I've been struggling so incredibly bad with life lately I don't know where to turn. Some days its just too much
Discussion boards would be non existent if nobody stated their opinions unless they were there.When people state their opinion about something that they weren't even there for, nor have any clue what really happened.....
Um - this has nothing to do with this DIS board what I wrote???????????????????Discussion boards would be non existent if nobody stated their opinions unless they were there.
Not one of us was present at anyone's situation on this thread, but we can all offer comfort and our opinions.
My sincerest apologies. I thought you were referring to my opinion a few posts back.Um - this has nothing to do with this DIS board what I wrote???????????????????
I am so sorry this is happening to you. My biggest fear has always been a spouse coming between me and my kids. ODS's ex-wife tried and tried hard until I finally had a conversation with my son. I just let loose and told him how hurt we were that he was cutting us out. I think it stunned him that I was that emotional about it. Maybe she was convincing him we didn't care, I don't know but things flipped and he told her she could stay away from us if she wanted but he was going to have a relationship with his family. The marriage didn't last anyway and now he is married to an absolutely wonderful girl. She isn't just an "in law", she is truly our daughter.
Honestly, in your shoes, I would have a sit down maybe with both of them or maybe just him. And squash this. Its not good for your husband's health/recovery to feel cut out of his son's life and its not good for your grandson to see the divide.
