My son's aged 32 and 28 haven't spoken to each other for 5yrs. It was quite a nasty argument and a lot of hurtful things were said between them.
They seem to drag me into this feud firstly my younger son 2 yrs ago on my 50th b'day accused me of choosing my eldest son over him because I couldn't get the 2 of them to come to see me on my b'day so arranged for them to come up on different days and buggered off for the day with my dh. My youngest son didn't speak to me for 4months on that occasion and then it was only because I was rushed to hospital with suspected p.e.
Now their grandmother passed away last month and she requested that my youngest son be bearer but their aunt needed one more so asked me to ask my eldest son as well. He of course said yes but then text me to inform his brother NOT to speak to him or approach him in any way shape or form as he didn't want to cause a scene because of him. I replied that perhaps it would be better if someone else would go as bearer as he obviously still had a problem being in the same vicinity as his brother and that this was a very difficult time for his dad and me as we were burying our mum at the end of the day.
He then rang me and started ranting and shouting at me calling me things saying I was disgusting and my behaviour was shocking so I put the phone down on him as he wouldn't allow me to speak and he was clearly just out to hurt me.
He then sent me a text saying he was devastated I'd hung up on him that I'd clearly sided with his brother and he wanted nothing more to do with me or any of the family. He blocked me on his phone so I can't even get in touch that way.
It's breaking my heart and I am asking for advice
