Dear Abby: I’m afraid I’ll lose my brother after Mom dies because of his harsh behavior
A woman fears her relationship with her brother will end after their elderly mother dies because he is short-tempered and getting remarried soon.
DEAR ABBY: My brother has found love again. His first wife passed away from cancer two years ago. He is getting married in two months. We were never super close but have always been civil to each other and spent an hour or two with each other during holiday meals or birthdays.
Our mother is 89 and lives at his home in an added-on apartment. She’s our common denominator. Because my brother is quick-tempered and short with me (and others), I’m afraid that after Mom is gone, he will have no use for me and I’ll never see him again.
