I came to the realization that my sister doesn't like my children.

70. Your sister sounds like my brother

I don't have kids, but the attitude toward me and my wife is just like your sister's. When I was 21 I was in a car crash and broke my neck. Mom wrote to him and broke the news, and never heard back. The next time she spoke with him, she said "Did you get my letter? Your brother's neck is broken." He said "Yeah, how about that!" Never a single card or phone call to me.

When he got married, I was not asked to serve in his wedding. We were on good terms back then (we don't speak anymore), and I'm his only brother. At least I was invited to the wedding. Out of three marriages he's had, that's the only invitation I got.

His worst offense was when we were in our early thirties. He was probably driving under a suspended license (per usual), and got into a wreck. I don't know how he got away with this, but he told the cop he was me. Could have made up a name, or used the name of an enemy, but he gave his brother's name. Naturally, he didn't show for court, and there was a warrant for my arrest, that I was not even aware of. (I'm 54 now, and still have never had a speeding ticket -- knock wood).

The stories go on and on. I'm just glad I never see him.
