[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 595783, member: 1550"] You can not stop your parents or brother from doing what they want to do, even if you don't like it. It is definitely undermining you, but you can't stop that either. difficult child is lucky to be getting a dime from you. If we were her parents, it wouldn't be happening. The only thing you can do, as I have suggested before, is to avoid your family. The only person you can control is YOU and you can't stop what they do, but you can save yourself the grief of hearing about it from them. Maybe your brother will have to support difficult child all of her life, but that also isn't your concern. Hugs and I'm sorry. I know how it feels when the family gangs up on you. The only difference is that I think I've learned what real family is vs. "I gave birth to you so I'm you're mother." Take care and keep us posted :) We care about you and a lot of us who got kicked around by our family of origin understand what you are going through. We know how hard it is and how frustrating and how sad it can make you that they would treat you this way. [/QUOTE]
