It seems for my brother that the cruelty is entirely the point. Our Mom passed away unexpectedly a year ago this past November, and he did all kinds of things to traumatize me and get me excluded from every aspect of planning for Mom‘s services as well as for our Dad‘s care. Never mind he would play martyr to anyone who would listen and claim he was being forced into doing everything on his own. Our dad has Alzheimer’s, and he emotionally manipulated him into thinking things about me that were not true. It took me a good portion of this past year to get things between my Dad and I to where they were when Mom first went into the hospital for her knee replacement surgery. My brother came into town for Christmas last Monday, and within two days he had my dad saying the same exact things he was saying to me a year prior as well as specific words that I know were directly from my brother. Never mind I’ve been no contact with him for eight years now, and had been for almost 7 when complications popped up after Mom’s knee replacement surgery. At no point did I exclude him from getting information on how Mom was doing, and I made no effort to keep him away when he came down to visit. He did not return that favor at all. On January 1, I will have access to legal assistance that I will initially pursue to simply find out what my rights are with my Dad. The first step I’m going to take is send a cease and desist letter to my brother to stop emotionally manipulating our Dad and lying about me. I don’t want to, but if I have to take any steps beyond that I will. I know our parents set things up in a trust, so not much can be done with that as our Dad is not of sound mind. Even so, I could care less if my brother ends up getting everything. I’m just trying to have a relationship with my Dad while he is still here.
