Please help me, when my brother died 2 yrs ago i phoned my brother C and to say sorry and was told by the wife that he was sleeping, i later spoke to my sister and she said she had been told the same thing, they had not been talking to each other when he G died, fair enough i was wasnt talking to C either but i thought we could bury the hatchet and mourn together.
My father passed away 3 mths ago and i received a text from my sister " dad dead" i was so upset so i phoned my brother c and his wife said he was sleeping-later on talked to five other people that the wife had told them the same thing.
I have not met my brother in the last four years but my sil has kept in touch i wish not to have anything to do with either so wish to break contact. She is a nice person but i feel she reports back to him.

I don't suppose you have a mobile number or email address for him? Is he on Facebook or Bebo? You could pop round and knock on the door? Does he live far away?

I think its a bit harsh on Sil. If she is a nice person does she have to cope with a DH who makes her feel awkward. Is your brother nice to her? The only time my family didn't talk to each other was when my sister became pregnant with my nephew at 16 yrs. But I got over myself and so did everyone else for the sake of my nephew (21 yrs now loves his auntie)I worry that you are her only contact with family or even friends.
