ezras_catJust discovered the strangest thing.
Many years ago (and I do mean many) my eldest brother just - stopped having anything to do with us. We never fell out or anything like that, he just stopped being contactable, and over the years he's more or less been forgotten about. But I say again, we have never fallen out. He's done the same with his own family - to the extent that when his son had a stroke and my brother went to visit him, his own daughter had to ask who he was. So it's not just us - he really is clearly like that.
When Julie died, I half thought that might at least bring him out of the woodwork, if only to contact mum long enough to say how sorry he was that his sister/her daughter had died. I now find out that what he actually said when he heard was, "Good, that's one less of them".
So perhaps he's not worth knowing. But how sad and angry some people are, for no reason at all.
