So my weekend has truly sucked.  I've been trying to have a relationship with my brother, we never got along growing up and he's in the military so I've seen him maybe twice in the past 8 years.  He officially told me he doesn't care to have a relationship with me or my girls, and he will make sure our kids never bond either.  Talk about some heartbreaking...  He is my only sibling, and its obviously his loss because my girls are his only nieces, and he's missing out because they are the greatest, not that I'm biast at all ;)  but I tried and my parents can't say I didn't want the relationship at least.  Just hurts when your own flesh and blood flat out states they want nothing to do with you or your kids.
