I need some serious opinions.

Sorry for your situation... no matter what you do someone will be upset.... I say put all the grandkids in... you are a neutral party that they are trying to drag into the fight...
 
I did actually come up with a solution to it, lol! I'm surprised this thread has been revived and it's actually hard seeing comments on it again. I had to push past all my hurt feelings to get the book done and sent it to my mom recently. It didn't in fact, have my brother's kids in there, but it had a place to add them in. My mom started bawling when she saw it (both good and bad tears) and we're still all dealing with this as a family. My brother has completely removed himself and refuses to talk to any of us, so it's very hurtful for all of us still.

I'm glad you found the perfect solution Adi!
That is a bummer that your brother is being that way towards you all! :hugs:
 
well, not all of us have been understanding and quite a few of us have pushed him away in one way or another. I don't get along with his wife at all and I was the first to cut off contact with them because of all the drama his wife was causing in my life and then my other siblings just sort of lined up behind me. I feel partially responsible for this and feel like we actually deserve it.... I feel badly because I myself was in his exact same position with my family a few years ago (feeling completely ostracized and hated by my siblings and a parent and saying screw it all!). I just hope we can work through everything like I was able to do and become whole again. We had a pretty rough childhood and all of us have been working through stuff so it feels like every time one of us heals, the next leaves. It's hard and sad.

Well, I hope you all are able to heal from this and maybe someday it won't be as hard and just maybe things may return to somewhat amicable terms. That is sad and I bet it is hard!
