Yikes! My xabf's brother tried a few times to get me to come to him to confide in him about his brother's drinking. He wanted fuel for the fire. To get ammo from me so he could tell his brother what a piece of sh** he is. What's worse is that his brother is an alcoholic in denial, but for whatever reason, his brother and step dad have both singled out my xabf for years as the one with all the problems. Typical, being that step dad was a severe alcoholic for their whole childhood and abusive. He always picked on my xabf, leaving the brother to be "the golden child".... And mom is still with him! How's that for dysfunction!?
I won't even answer his brother's calls or texts anymore. Whatever it is is between my xabf and him. Period.
