Hey Sue, ... so sorry if this is going to sound harsh but it doesn't sound like you owe it to your brother to go ... What's the big deal about the son coming back from the overseas trip anyway ?? ... Funny thing i firstly thought " Oh, he must have been a soldier in a war overseas that's why such big hype about him coming home " ... My other question is it cause he has been gone overseas for a long time ??, like a year or something ??

I can hear the stress in your posts Sue, i wouldn't go ... Look after you & your children first as you sound like you know to do and that's clearly one of your reasons of concern in going, you don't need for anymore emotional discomfort ...

I was also wondering is it also worrying you about the outcome with your brother if you don't go ... if his son has been on an overseas holiday for not a very long time i can't see the deep importance of it, but then maybe your brother thinks differently.

Take super care Sue xOx
