Hang in there, Lisa - you've had lots to deal with and this very painful decision wasn't made lightly, I'm sure. Anyone who chooses to be an a**hole in my life prompts the same decision from me. There should not be any need to have to walk on eggshells so as not to upset someone, especially a sibling, f'chrissakes. Hopefully, he'll grow up and get healthy and realize the huge loss in not having the gift of his sister in his life - whew!
