WTH is up with this?
Next time your out get the ingredients for special brownies....choc chip cookies.......(brownies are easier), make up a batch, then head off to Cory's to hang out. Say nuthin to nobody. If they eat said brownies / cookies........well, ya know doctor did say to put it in a dessert to help get it down. He didn't exactly say HOW to do that. Ok, I'm being snarky. But dammit this is starting to majorly peeve me off.
You need to take Tony out to dinner and have a long long talk. Seriously. This dude is messin with your man's brain cells and that is above and beyond. And because you're hiding out, it's giving him MORE opportunity to fill Tony's head with manipulative garbage.
If it were me, I'd not be cooking, cleaning doing squat. Period. Nada. Nuthin. Except for myself. Nor would I leave Tony alone with this PITA manipulative bro of his for 2 seconds. You don't have to talk, you don't have to pay attention to them if you don't want. But I wouldn't be leaving them alone together either.
Janet, hon, can you call up your dear friend the psychiatrist you've had for years. This woman could probably give you some very good advice based on the fact that she knows you exceptionally well, and heck probably Tony too from you talking to him so much.
There is something very weird (as I've said before) going on, and bro is at the bottom of it. Maybe you need to call val back and find out exactly why the whole family is fed up with bro.
(((hugs)))
PS with the brownies I am not implying anything illegal lol
