    Mum wanted them to come back and stay with her ..it is easier for her to communicate at home...she was concerned about the cold air in the mountains....I have sent various emails to brother in past two years but he ignored the bits about mum not being well. Iupdated on FB but there was no comment....
    I feel sad for them too but I was hoping for a compromise....seeing mum had gotten out of hospital the day they arrived.
    I understand they have little kids but it is easier to pick up a child then an 82 year old lady with crushed vertebrae
    Perhaps I am being unreasonable......not angry with them..just disappointed. Couldn't control the situation with mum and cant seem to work it all out with them.
    The other morning I woke up and didn't know where I was and was told this was extreme stress. I don't know how to put that into words with brother and his wife...My older sister said it is because we are all disjointed from each other..lead different lives. Our lives here have been flat chat. I wish I could just pack up and go sometimes but can't....or difficult to arrange everything. Spoke to commonwealth respite this morning to try and get some respite for tomorrow and was told that I have used too many Saturdays....
