My mum died over 2 years ago and at the time my 2 brothers were very insensitive (taking time off work on Carer's leave but spending it drinking/partying and carrying on as normal, not visiting or helping with her care or even discussing her care and then once she was gone going straight into her house and chucking out stuff without bothering to consult me and my sister).
I've not spoken to either of them since the funeral as I was very resentful of the way they made a bad time so much worse.
Increasingly lately though I've been getting upset as family is extremely important to me and I miss my brothers. They are also missing out on seeing my kids (only one of my brothers has kids and I manage to see my niece through my ex sister in law)
I wondered if anyone had any advice about getting in touch. Even if they told me to get lost i feel it would be closure for me. If I'm honest I'd been hoping they'd get in touch with me but it doesn't look like they ever will and I worry one of us will die and things are just so unresolved.
