[QUOTE="Star*, post: 362921, member: 4964"] I think you are making wise choices for yourself in cutting off contact with your brother. I belive you will find peace with this decision AND if you flat out explain to your Mom that you are not going to take anymore of his emotional blackmail, and truly for your health can not and will not hear about him whether it's her telling it or anyone else, stand your ground and then define your boundaries with everyone about it? You are going to be much more at peace, stop making excuses for living the way YOU want to or do - for whatever reason - Nunya - Know what I mean? - As far as Jess answering and him stating "If your Mother isn't a coward?" I would instruct Jess to be nothing. I would then take the phone and hang it up. That's not a choice for Jess to make-she's a child. It should be clear to both your children that phone calls of an abusive nature will be dealt with by the adults in the home. If you choose to hang up? Do so. Bravo. If he comes over I would have my course of action planned out. Do you call police, do you have a peace bond put out against him? I really wouldn't let anything else he says or does for the rest of my life bother me so much that I had a reaction to it ----He's a chaos junkie - and by arguing or fueling him with retorts? You are enabling him. When we are forgotten we cease to exist.....think about that as it pertains to your brother, and how it could enrich your life. :winking: [/QUOTE]
