Family Trouble Update
Permalink  

I know I told you about my husband's family trouble. The big fight that resulted in him not speaking to his parents. Well he finally emailed them Wed? explaining how he felt and why. He then kept checking for a response. He was getting mad because he didn't get one back. I kept telling him that you are left with a lot of wondering when you don't talk. I reminded him that maybe his Mom doesn't check her email that much. Anyway he got a email back late Sat night. They had been away because her sister had surgery. He then called her Sunday. She said that she can't take anymore stuff form his brother either. That she had talked to someone that said she was gonna have to start doing tough love. She hasn't talked to him or his wife but she plans on telling him that he is not welcome at their house anymore while he continues to do drugs. She also wanted to know if we were coming up for the 4th.

We have not decided but my husband wants to sit down and talk with his Mom & step-dad at the same time and explain that he is done with his brother and if we ever have to leave like that again because they won't tell him to go then he will be done with them as well.

But it seems like things are taking a turn for the better. We can't change his brother but at least maybe he won't be writting everyone off. smile

we usually go up and she said that 2 sets of his aunts/Uncles will be up as well. So nothing major but I didn't know if he was ready to try another trip again so soon. I am just waiting to find out how he feels. I am a little nervous myself. Only because I don't want anymore trouble from his brother. I don't think he would show but he isn't always rational.

I'm hoping it all works out! He stresses enough w/o this being added. Even though he might not talk about it, I know that it really bothered him.

Sorry to hear that your hubby's family is having to deal with this. I will pray for all involved- especially your brother in law- hope he can get some helpcry It must be hard to see your kids struggle like that. I know my dad deals with this from my brother. I get mad cause he is 74 and has to STILL be stressing about himfurious

Well Mom has finally got a call from my brother-in-law. She expressed that he is not welcome at her house if he is gonna be like that due to the drugs. He of course got an attitude and said that she didn't have to worry about that, he would never come up again. During the conversation it also came out that he is no longer working. So I am guessing he was fired. Good luck getting a job with all the drug tests. She told him that he needed to get off the drugs. But of course he stated that he tried that and it doesn't work. I don't know when he ever tried to get off of them. I mean a real effort. I wish he would get help but in the meantime, I am glad that she is standing up to him now.

It's good to hear Woo! Is your Hubby close to his parents? It sounded like he was ready to give them up?

He is very close to his Mom & Step Dad. I think all the deaths in their family brought them closer. When he emailed them he told them that he loved them and that they were good parents but that he just couldn't stand to be around his brother and watch everyone be treated so badly. That is really what he was fed up with. Basically if they didn't stand up for themselves then he couldn't be apart of it. He didn't see how they could have a meaningful relationship when they had to avoid certain subjects(his brother).

And he decided that we are going up to their house fo the holiday! clap.gif
