Sandi2, my wife's father left his wife and 3 kids when my wife was 2. The nxt weekend all the kids were sent to live with grandparents 2 hours away. It's a sad story but 3 kids were then split up my wife went back to her mother at age 5. One brother went to dad and other brother stayed with grandparents. My wife has been writing her father letters throughout our 17yrs of marriage and never sent them. He is remarried and treats my wife like a stepchild Anyway she has had self esteem issues. Her oldest brother died in an accident 25yrs ago her other brother lives in the same town as we do. We have always been close with him and his family until last 2 yrs. I am still close but wife thinks he hates her so she has shut him and his family off completely the last 2 yrs. The dynamic is she is jealous of her brother because of his relationship with her dad. Whenever dad is on the outs with brother she becomes chummy with dad. She is turning 49 next week and is now talking about getting her masters etc...everything is always trying to please dad because he never loved her unconditional. Wow that was a lot to share. I hope it's something you can comment on.
