SiblingsBrothers and sisters - can't live with 'em, can't stove 'em to death with the coal scuttle and bury 'em behind the local industrial estate. Tell us about yours.
Thanks to suboftheday for the suggestion -we're keeping the question open for another week for the New Year

My GoodnessI have never heard such rubbish referred to as a "problem". With all the troubles you have seen posted on this website, your biggest family "issue" is the revelation and disclosure of your brothers infidelity?
Talk about a non-issue. But I guess being free of worry about food, housing, character, and integrity, all you have left is microscopically minor issues such as this, lol. I truly pity you and your small world.

You what?The guy's brother dropped him in the shite and his new sister-in-law is a bonafide shitstirrer.
Seems like a perfectly valid reason for being dischuffed to me.

The reality is...His new partner has now successfully managed to fully ostracise my brother from his entire family. He has lost out financially in the divorce and forfeited his home. He has effectively lost contact with both children, one of which has special needs. His immediate family are forever torn over the way they have been subjected to this unwanted situation. The relatives of both families now feel like the innocent victims of this tragic turns of events. Our mother never gets to see two of her dearest grandchildren, likewise cousins lose contact etc. For myself and my sister, we both feel the same, only what can be described as akin to a bereavement, since brotherly love has been terminally withdrawn. Any family events are now tainted by the obvious painful reminder that certain people are missing from a family gathering.
If you feel my posting is so trifling, then maybe you have never had to deal with the aftermath of a personal family crisis. There are no rules or guidelines for extended families when separation and divorce turns nasty. The law may divide the goods and shackles of a marriage, but the rest of us are left to pick up the pieces. And what is most disturbing is that despite your best intentions of avoiding the situation, you are powerless to prevent it occurring. Be warned, it is a terrible state of affairs when you are involved merely because you share the same blood!
PS: I could go on, as recent events have only exacerbated the situation even further…
