A Sad Family Story

  It was not a very good weekend.  My youngest brother who was estranged from most of the family moved back here in 2005 and we were all trying to get along.  I thought it was going well until last week.  When my dad died, he left us some money and as it turns out, my brother blew through all of it, with the help of  his greedy wife of course.  She got a boob job.  He has two little boys.  He moved back here, I gathered because he was running out of money..you think he would get a job....oh no.  Well, he sent an e-mail out to all his friends looking for money, I got it by accident, as he quickly sent me an e-mail stating he made a mistake.  Well, a couple of days later, I got an e-mail from him asking for money...saying he was going to bounce checks, had to pay rent, electric/gas bill, etc.  I responded that I was not in a position right now to lend him money and that I would help out with the kids.  Well, because neither my stepmother or I would give him money.  He sent me a succession of e-mails telling me that I am a bad Aunt, to rot in hell, go fuck myself, he forbid me to see his children, etc.  He even brought my husband into things to make me more upset.  He even told his own mother to go fuck herself and called her a fucking bitch.  Of all people, her!  She is the sweetest woman you could ever meet and had on several occasions gave him money.  You may think i was mean in not giving him money, but if I did, he would think the well would never go dry and straighten himself out.  It is not anyone's responsibility to take care of his family but his.  He is 35 years old, healthy and very smart ( but no common sense)  He needs to work and earn money instead of depending on others.  I am feeling bad and depressed that it has come to this.  I just have to forget about him and at this point, I never want to see him again.  I have other brothers, no sisters.  I guess life goes on.  Thanks all for listening, I tried to make a long story short, but needed to vent.  You all  have a good day.
