Bit of a belated reply to this thread, I googled the subject and came across this and I did join last year which was a coincidence., I am glad I found it though as I am having some really strong feelings about my nephew at the moment. Well they've been bubbling under for some years because of some of the things he has done. It's funny how when you talk about a family member you don't like to someone, they always say 'But its your nephew, or sister, brother, mother', so you have to love them despite your feelings, and they can get away with it because they are related. But I have kind of put my foot down and confronted my feelings, and just lately he has upset me so much that I thought enough is enough. Luckily I hardly see him and he lives well away from me so having to see him isn't really an issue. I am also bothered because he is quite violent and my sister (who is the mother), has made a joke out of the fact that he may hit her. This has really made me angry. So glad that I don't feel like a bad person and I am not alone.
