Aww Ima I agree with flash, ya have the board members here, the ones that understand our lifestyles
I have family also, mom and three brothers but really no contact with older brothers, we have nothing in common, so it's mom, younger brother hubby and I here. My mom respects our space and our decisions. Younger brother will be my responsibility to oversee when moms gone, he works and is pretty independent but does need a bit of overseeing to keep the laundry done and bills paid

He's handicapable!
And hubby is flustered, amazed, furious that brother has turned this into an attack and saddened. He's going to talk to the other brother and see what he knows so far and go from there, but he will NOT have his wife or his life attacked this way.
Love that man! Best hubby in the world!
And Flash so sorry to hear the situation with your mom and brother, so sad all we want is the best for them but we're just "the kids" so what do we know? It gets so tiring beating our heads on the wall.
