AlteredState, I think you might have misunderstood my posts. There is a difference between having childish feelings versus acting childish.

So, you don't think your idea of leaving and never coming back is not an "act" of childishness? Whom does it benefit, except your brother?

I don't believe I asked you to "snap" out of your feelings; I merely stated that maybe hearing from an outsider that your are, indeed feeling "infantile" (your word here), which will, in fact, manifest itself in behaviours - like leaving and never coming back (your words again), will snap you out of your line of thinking long enough to REFOCUS on what the REAL ISSUE IS - and that is your father impending death!

And I also keep forgetting that oftentimes, when certain words are used, they are often taken in the most derogatory of ways.

I still believe that your focus ought to be on your father at this time, not your brother and how he is making you feel unwanted and invalid.

It is difficult to explain myself clearly right now, as I cannot go back and forth from each post on this thread to make my point a little clearer, so I shall concede to being misunderstood and wrong about my assumptions.

Besides, I do agree that being very pregnant, the stress and the flying is definitely not a good idea.

Taking care of baby is paramount!
