Tough Talk,
I had two older brothers who died early and were very successful. My parents and my niece and nephews act like it’s my fault and have implied on several occasions that they wish it was me who passed away. I normally let it slide, but it’s getting more and more annoying and unfortunately I can’t afford to move out of their home right now. What do you think I should do TT? (Willowbrook, Washington)
Willowbrook,
I am sorry about the loss of your two brothers and you have my complete sympathy. However, your parents and brothers’ kids have no right to inflict that type of pain on you. I think you should be honest with your feelings and emotions and tell them what complete f&^**#!*&g a**%$!* they and to FO and to ES. Unless your parents are completely ridiculous, they won’t toss you out. But it’s a risk you’re gonna have to take.
