Re: no backbone?
My sister is the eldest out of us siblings. Since my father passed away 6 years ago, my mum has always craved for that emotional support that a daughter gives to her mother at such times. My sister couldnt care less. Left me to deal with it all, and we had no grudge againt my sister for doing so because we all felt that she has her own life now and we cant expect anything from her! Mum has always welcomed any friendly gestures from my sister, though they are very very very rare! therefore even after 2 years of not talking to my mum, mum still accepted her and stayed normal with her because she is her daughter! my BIL is a very manipulating sort of perosn. he does have alot of influence over my sister and pretty much dictates to her (as he did to his younger brother)…
yes the guy is to be blamed too, for letting his brother get so involved! The same thing happend in his first marriage and the girl had same issues!! You would have thgouht he would have learnt from it!
