My younger brothers family finally split me and my brother up?

[Anonymous]

My younger brothers family finally split us apart over stupid accusations, drama and etc. over me. As of now, if I talk to my younger brother or his family, they'll get mad and start freaking out, then I'll get warnings and angry texts and messages from them telling me to stay away from them or else. I even got a threat message from them. I'll make sure they paid my hospital bills. I also had problems with them from the past, but not this severe over stupid shit. All this over a normal family conversation is had with one of them, then a day later, all hell breaks loose from them

With Family's, you're supposed to bond with them, not cause or start problems or drama.


My younger brother is or was the only closest relative I have or had left now.

Yo dude that really sucks about your brother's family splitting you guys up. Family drama is the worst.

Sounds like they're trying to cause problems over nothing. Threatening you about the hospital bills too, what a bunch of jerks. Like who does that to their own family?

I'd just try to give it some time to cool off for now. Maybe reach out to your brother directly and let him know you're always there for him if he needs you, but won't push it with his whack family. Last thing you need is their threats escalating things.

Hopefully with some space your bro will see they're being unreasonable. In the meantime, maybe hit up some old friends to hang with instead of dwelling on it alone. Family's supposed to have your back, so it's on them to sort their shit out, not on you. You do you man, they'll come around.

Their threat was putting me in the hospital, that's what I meant by them paying my hospital bills if any harm comes to me. I decided from the start not to come around them anymore.

Aw man, threatening to put you in the hospital? That's seriously not cool of them at all. I guess they must be really unhinged right now if they're making threats like that over some family argument.

You definitely made the right call to stay away from them after something like that. Who knows what kind of crazy stuff they might try if they're that angry already. Not worth risking your safety for people acting like that.

I know it still really sucks to lose touch with your brother over their drama. But as much as it pains you, protecting yourself has to come first here. Hopefully someday after they've chilled out, you guys can try to hash things out safely from a distance and get back some kind of relationship.

In the meantime, like I said before, surround yourself with real friends you know have your back no matter what. Don't leave yourself alone with your thoughts dwelling on all this crappy family business either - keep busy with your homies as much as you can.

This whole deal is not on you at all. You didn't do anything to deserve threats. Just take care of yourself for now and maybe in time things will settle down and get better. But respecting that no-contact is smart right now for sure given their crazy threats. You got this man!

So you can't privately text him? Just wait and privately text him. Sounds like maybe he likes the drama or attention from it?

Something dumb is happening and just let it. Nothing you can do but wait and hold on.
