I cut them off a long time ago because of all the family drama. I didn't need that while I was raising my daughter and trying to earn a living. My aunt was the most considerate out of all of them.

Thank you for sharing.
I’m so sorry for the struggles you had with family ..
I think you hit the nail in the head when you say your aunt was the most considerate...consideration for someone is so important, and something I find my brothers just don’t seem to have amongst other things..
I moved away from my home town and rarely saw or heard from my brothers for years...I think we had sub consciously cut each other out....
It’s funny one of them now gets in touch and is trying to keep contact after all this time and causing a problem .maybe it’s because we are getting older , I know I feel guilty but I can’t cope with the relationship ..
It does help to write it here and get it out..hope it helped you
Good wishes x
