Thank you all so much. You're so kind to me, beyond what I deserve. I need to ask a question. I have two older brothers. I'm in a difficult position with my ex husband and neither brother will try to talk to my ex husband. I'm not a difficult sibling, I don't ask for money or embarrass the family. We all get along so well when together. I just want to have that added protection but neither want to get involved. I've been alone for 9 years and I hear of protective brothers and I get jealous. It's just been a long nine years and I'm tired.
