How thoughtless!!!!!!!!

I just found out today that one of my aunts died back in December!! I'm sure my bro who lives here and his wicked wife knew about it and they didn't have the common decency of letting me and my other bro and sister know!! I'm sure they have my dad's side of the family totally against us and spread lies about us! I normally don't believe in karma but sometimes I really wish something would really come back and bite them in the butt big time!! If the shoes were on the other foot we would have at least let them know that Aunt Dorothy died! My sister found out on ancestry.com. Pretty sad when we have to find out from a website that family has died.

I'm a firm believer in karma, and somehow, some way, your brother's actions will come back on him, three-fold. And I'm also sure he'll blame you when they do, because he doesn't believe that he's done anything wrong.

If I were you, I'd maintain contact with your dad's family members on your own - sending cards, letters, etc. Even if you don't get responses from them (but I expect after a while, you will). Never say a negative thing about your brother, Ideally, say nothing at all about him. Don't go on the defensive, or try to explain the lies he's spreading. If someone asks about the things he's said, tell them the truth - while saying nothing negative about your brother. After a while, it should become apparent to others what he is doing without you having to say a word, and if he ever accuses you of retaliation, you can look him in the eye and tell him you did no such thing.

It's hard, but rewarding, to take the high road when others try to drag you down the low road with them.

Re: How thoughtless!!!!!!!!

Thank you Judy!

Good idea. I need to look up their addresses to keep in touch with them. I think I will start sending them cards after I find their addresses. That way they will know our information as well. One of my cousins has my email address (the one that hangs out with the wicked witch of the midwest ). At least she does now since I found her email address. One of my other cousins lives next door to my bil and sil so I would have thought that she would have tried to get a hold of me when my aunt died...unless she was out of the loop too.
