He is a pain in the ass to get hold of. He called me back a couple of months ago after I called him a few times to tell him my news, and then when I returned his call he did not answer.
So I emailed him yesterday, telling him I am now 16 weeks pg, all positive news.
His response, at 4am this morning 'lil sis my life is crap, been to jail again'.
That was it. That was his sole response. End. Of.
Now should I feel sorry for him that his life is shit and think oh poor thing he must not be happy hearing good news like this? Or am I right to think he is so selfish and fucking self absorbed to not even acknowledge what I have just told him.
I really do not know why I gave him any credit for actually being there for me. I have no family. I have my brother who lives pretty much as far from me as you can get ( not on purpose I might add, he is in the army) and his own life, an estranged sister, and my parents died in 2007. No other family. Well that is not true. I have DH, my DD, and I also have Family in Law who are great, but they all live in USA. But I should have realised this brother would be too wrapped up in his own shit to give a toss about me.
And its his own bloody fault he is in prison right?
I am so disappointed and fucked off.
AIBU.
