Too cold blooded and his selfishness really bothers me. There were times during the last 10 years when we've been together, where he's surprisingly like how he used to be, and I'm so happy when he's like that, but those times are rare to nonexistent now. Actually, we barely see each other and only live an hour apart. He never even invites me to any holidays even though my husband and I are by ourselves, and we never engage in any conversations about religion or politics and really try to be cheerful and friendly when we do see him and his family, but we're liberals and too weird for him. Truly, right-wing hate media has destroyed my family. 
Just before the election, my brother brought up politics with our elderly mom that was shockingly negative and full of blatant inaccurate info, and she tried to stick up for Hillary and he came unglued, yelling, "Do you want me to pay more taxes? Do you? Do you know how hard I work? Hillary's going to raise my taxes! Do you want me to pay more?" Mom said he was literally yelling in her ear, wouldn't let her hardly get a word in, and repeated those statements over and over. It really shook her. I came super close to calling him up and giving him a piece of my mind, but Mom asked me to not do that and just let it go. Ugh.
