So happy

[Nancy5]

I had a stepfather who had 2 sons.  They never lived with us, they lived with their mon 50 miles away.  For some reason my stepfather always choose to keep us from knowing each other, he never wanted us to be close.  As time went by we never even saw or heard from them.  One married and lives in Ohio, the other married and lives in Florida.  We never went to their weddings nor did they come to my sisters or mine.  Anyway, about 6 years ago my stepfather died and naturally both sons came here for the funeral.  The 4 of us went out to dinner one night and really talked.  We always thought they were the favorites and they always thought we were.  We compared notes and discovered he didn’t really liked any of us!  We became very close since then (I know he is turning in his grave mad as hell), but my brother just called me and said he and his wife are flying up from Florida next week he has a conference to attend,  of course they will stay with me, I’m so happy and excited to see my brother again!!

This is such a nice post to read.  So many times we hear about families splitting apart and now your lovely post about your family coming together.   I wish you and your step brothers many happy years.

          Happy for you that you were able to reunite with your family. Sad that some parents think that its best to keep family members away from each other.

That is a gr8-ordeal for anyone to go through. Narcissist carrot dangling enticement management seems the win is one way; I am happy that this worked out for you, but; the using of carrot mg for bewitching - something amazing happens.
